It has all been said. On the previous occasion I asked for the Department of Justice and Equality, as the most important Department in the context of this issue, to come before the committee so I have no difficulty with it doing so whatsoever. However, I believe we must be clear what is our remit. It has been said, and I will not repeat it, that we should not stray into the remit of the justice committee, which I think we are in danger of doing. Our workload is heavy, so I suggest an afternoon session that does not interfere with the extremely important workload we have laid down. I agree with the Deputy who outlined the practice, process and procedures. That is our role.
