No, it is not agreed. I do not think that we can wait until tomorrow to debate the slaughter in Palestine. We have heard the figures, with the number who died yesterday having now risen to 59, including an eight month old baby. A total of 113 people have been killed by Israeli forces since 30 March. There are protests taking place again today. How high is the figure going to rise to? We need to be debating the matter today and I propose that we take 80 minutes from 7.40 p.m. until 9 p.m., in advance of the debate on mandatory disclosures, to do so. That would not affect the timing of business for the rest of the week and would mean that we could discuss the issue today rather than waiting until tomorrow.
