I welcome everyone in the Gallery today. Usually, this is a quiet and lonely place, but it is great to have the visitors here and it is good to see friends.

I thank the other political parties for facilitating this Private Members' Bill. It is being fast-tracked and I commend the other political parties on allowing it to happen. I commend the efforts of a former Member, Luke Flanagan, who put forward a Bill in 2013 dealing with medical cannabis. He is in Brussels at the moment, probably a better place to be.
