I propose therefore that, rather than take the words put forward by Mr Moore, instead, following the word "Minister", where it appears for the second time, we insert the words "and wearing photographic identification". The effect of that would be that a person needs to have two qualifications. Firstly, they would need to be authorised by the Minister in writing, as it appears there; and, secondly, they would need to be wearing photographic identification.
That should indicate clearly that the person has the authority and has identification of who they are. I think that covers Mr Moore's concern and would certainly not be an administrative nightmare requiring me, as Minister, to be signing people's identification cards saying, "Bloggs is really Bloggs", or whatever. That was not, I think, Mr Moore's intention.
