Before we begin, the new speaking time clocks will be used for the first time today. They are intended to assist Deputies in keeping to the time limits set down in Standing Orders. The time indicated on the screen during Question Time will be the time allowed to the Minister for the initial reply, that is, two minutes, and the time for each supplementary question and reply, that is, one minute each. I ask Deputies to comply with the time limits as running over time reduces the time available for other Deputies.
