I wish to use my ten minutes for over and back exchanges with the Minister on questions rather than by making a statement.

My first question is on older people. Over the past number of weeks, we have been given different timeframes as to when those aged over 70 will be inoculated. It was March when we expected the AstraZeneca vaccine would be used for the over 70s. Obviously, we all expect the timeframe to change now but we have been told that it could be April, May or June. Can the Minister confirm, for the purposes of clarity and on the basis of the information that he has, what the estimated timeframe for fully inoculating all the over 70s?
