I have also stayed here to listen to every single contribution. I have been here for 95% of the contributions and it is unusual that this is happening with more than two hours of debating time left this evening. There are Members in the Chamber who have not contributed and may contribute. I see it as nothing more than a delaying tactic and an attempt to drag out the debate to next week. The Minister of State is waiting to sum up and if people wish to speak on this debate, they have the next two hours and 15 minutes to do so. We had enough games in committee - it is time to stop the games now, as this is too serious an issue.
