All Members have been supportive and admiring of the work of the Magdalen commission and the report it issued. One of the commission's proposals is that the restorative justice Bill be brought before the House. What is the position with regard to that Bill and in respect of the implementation of the report of the Magdalen commission?

I have just received a text from the Whip's office. Matters on the Order of Business are often referred to the Whips for decision. The agenda for today originally included a debate on a motion to establish the banking inquiry but I am informed that this has been cancelled. The matter to which I refer is extremely important and it was scheduled to be dealt with as part of today's business. Why was it pulled at this late stage?
