I suggest a slight amendment that, with the agreement of the House, the proposed concluding of statements on broadband at 11.15 p.m. on Wednesday be changed to adjourning of statements on this issue so as to facilitate the continuation of that business on Thursday and indeed into next week to give Deputies an opportunity speak on the issue, and that Deputies could be given a ten minute as opposed to a five minute slot because there is a need to facilitate the participation of backbench Members across all parties in debates of this kind and not unduly restrict such debates on important issues. There may be other business. I merely propose to keep it on the Order Paper for Thursday and next week and to change what is there from "conclude" to "adjourn".
