It is proposed to sit again at 10.30 a.m. next Tuesday. I have managed to arrange a debate on the Cloyne report next week, as requested by Members this morning. The only disadvantage is that the debate on the arts may have to be deferred as a result. We must await news on the availability of Ministers.
