There is one item I would like to bring to the notice of the committee before we start, which is television coverage. During this morning's discussions in the House, many Members complained because we were not getting sufficient coverage of committee proceedings. A problem has arisen with regard to Members speaking in the Committee without being called by the Chairman. Those in charge of the controls do not have sufficient time to identify the speaker and, as a result, they are not being recorded. If any Member wishes to speak, I ask them to do so through the Chair. If maximum coverage is to be gained from our discussions, Members should wait until they are called by the Chair. When I call the speaker, the person at the controls can identify him and likewise for those controlling the cameras.
We should determine how long we will take to discuss the Bill. Are we going to complete Committee Stage today or will we continue tomorrow and set a time limit for today? This will depend on the availability of Members. We should decide a timetable. The Minister of State indicated that he would like to give officials in his Department an opportunity to tidy up other areas there before they go on holidays. He would prefer to finish the business this week, if at all possible.
