Order of Business.
Are the proposals for dealing with tomorrow's sitting satisfactory? Agreed. Are the proposals for dealing with No. 10 agreed?
We are prepared to agree because an inadequate debate on this subject is better than no debate at all? A debate which is so time limited that there are only eight speaking opportunities for a party of 55 Deputies is inadequate and I hope that opportunities will be made for all our Deputies who wish to contribute to do so on an early occasion.
