Before we continue, I want to seek the views of the House. It is now after 8.50 p.m. According to the order of the day, this business has to be completed by 9.30 p.m. and 15 minutes, from 9.15 p.m. to 9.30 p.m., is allowed for the Minister to respond. It also states a Minister or a Minister of State shall take questions for a period not exceeding one hour before then. That hour will be up in 13 minutes. Does the House approve that the order be changed to allow questions to continue until 9.15 p.m. and that the Minister will be called then? Is that agreed? Agreed.
