As Members have a deep interest in the topic I am allowing them make a longer contribution that the usual five minute contribution. Because of the manner in which the issue came before us, prior to Christmas, we decided to do a body of work, to have hearings and then, I hope, play our part in arriving at a sensible and workable plan. Members who have an interest have been invited to give as full and as thorough an input as possible. I ask all Members to bear with me on that but everybody will get his or her chance.
