If they do, they can maybe come back in later. Unfortunately, the committee set up two back-to-back sessions for today. That is the reason we have time pressure. Normally, we do not. Senator Blaney was on the line earlier. If he is not there, I will move on. He is not there right now, so we are on to the Fine Gael slot.

I will not take too long. I commend the work that is being done. I have just a few questions, particularly on the reference made to the UK Labour Party and what it might do. In the expectation that there may very well be a change in the UK Government, it is very important that we all engage with all the parties in Westminster, particularly the Labour Party and Hilary Benn. Do we have an understanding of what exactly they are saying about the Bill?
