It is not for me to agree. It is a matter for the Business Committee to agree. Deputy Coppinger's colleague, Deputy Mick Barry, raised this issue this morning. We are conscious of the fact that as we speak, the Labour Court is considering this particular subject. We have adopted a protocol around how to deal with industrial disputes. Members agreed today that if the Labour Court fails to reach an agreement today, the matter would again be considered by the Business Committee and time would be made available for a debate.

Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed.
