I am okay with a 10.30 a.m. start. I have to be in the Chamber at 12 noon for Leaders' Questions. At what time will we break tomorrow?

I am sure we can. Is the Minister agreeable to that?

Is there any way we could deal with this in the morning so that it is done before Leaders' Questions? I do not want to compromise proper scrutiny, however. I am free all day. I am in the hands of the committee.
