On that same point, I appreciate that circumstances change and that a Minister's speech might not be ready until very soon before he or she comes into the Chamber, but, ideally, I would like to see it. If the script was ready yesterday, I would love to have seen it then to assimilate and process it. It would have allowed us to amend our speeches accordingly and not be repetitive regarding what the Minister of State said. We could address the points made. Ideally, I would prefer to get a script in advance, if possible. I am not saying it is always possible. If it is possible, it would be better.
