Exactly, because we’re not questioning the nomination process here. What we are questioning here is the fact that the Assembly should approve this nomination, which would then be passed to Her Majesty. That is something that should be agreed. If we’re only here to rubber-stamp these things then what’s the point of this debate? What is the point of the motion? What’s the point of a debate if we’re only supposed to say, ‘Well, yes, whatever you do as the Cabinet, that’s absolutely fine’? [Interruption.] Yes, okay.
