We will move on to our work programme. A draft of it has been circulated. Next week, 1 December, we are due to have two public engagements. The first, in the morning, will be with representatives of the Department of Social Protection, and the second, in the afternoon, will be with the operator of the national lottery. Members will be aware that a joint sitting of the Houses has been scheduled for next Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m., so the engagement with the operator has therefore been provisionally rescheduled for 1.30 p.m. on Thursday, 8 December. That change had to be made. The President of the European Commission, Ms Ursula von der Leyen, will be in the Chamber on the day and members will probably wish to be in attendance. Is it agreed that we change the date to 8 December?
