We can decide on some parts of the report in the time during which we were to discuss the No Consent, No Sale Bill. We can decide how we will move forward and set a date for the completion of that report. That is what has to be done. That is the process. We can then arrange a meeting of the select committee to discuss the other Bill so that it will not be delayed. If we make that decision today, the Deputy can propose further dates to consider the report at that meeting. There is an extensive list of amendments to be considered so it will not be concluded in half an hour. I propose that on Thursday morning the joint committee deal with the amendments to the report and the process to be followed because it is only on completion of that report that the Bill can proceed to the select committee.
