Is it agreed to adjourn at 8 p.m., if we have not finished by then? Agreed. The only item on our agenda is Committee Stage of the Child and Family Agency Bill 2013. I welcome the Minister and all of her officials. I thank them for the considerable work they have put into the organisation and preparation of the Bill which is appreciated. I invite the Minister to make some brief opening remarks.
