I do not wish to delay this proposed legislation in any way, but only a small number of us have been here for this meeting. In that context, we discussed previously the possibility of having a meeting of the committee on a Friday in exceptional circumstances. I do not think it would be right for us to do this pre-legislative scrutiny report without at least having had one session with external witnesses. We could do that Friday week, for example, and that would not delay the process in any way.
