The Leader wishes to make an intervention.

It is almost 7.30 p.m. and we had agreed to adjourn at this stage. I propose we extend the time and that we conclude Committee Stage at 8.30 p.m. if not already concluded.

Is that agreed?

Not agreed.

That is a different question to that put by the Leader.

Okay, with no guillotine.

It is not agreed. We are not agreeing to any guillotine of this legislation. I am not trying to delay this. It is a point of principle. We may not need the time, but there should be no guillotine.

I already put the question to extend the time and it was carried.
