I am aware of that but, as with the previous speaker, I am making it clear that this is unacceptable because a calculation of the time - and this is a time proposition - suggests we have less than one hour to address the amendments on Report Stage when we have gone through the various steps that have to be taken to order the rest of the business. It is not acceptable. The proposition is to sit later than 8.30 p.m. and not later than 10 p.m. and that is restrictive. The imposition of a guillotine and the limited time available are not acceptable in terms of addressing important legislation and a raft of new amendments, which we have not had the opportunity to properly tease out. We object to the Order of Business.
