I do not want to give my whole speech. My concern is that we are beginning to reach the limits of what we can achieve through fines alone and that, despite ever-increasing fines, we are still facing an issue of non-compliance. The other trouble with fines is that they are always imposed after the damage has been done; they are not working as a deterrent to prevent the things that we do not want from happening in the first place. I will not describe the amendments again—the amendments are clear in what they intend to do. I feel that they have been properly thought about.
