The hon. Member for Chesham and Amersham (Mrs. Gillan) may become used to this if she deals with Northern Ireland business. Statutory instrument committees often take place at the same time as parliamentary business relating to Northern Ireland. It has been a source of frustration to me that the timing of business sometimes falls in impossible ways.
The Liberal Democrats consider the timing sufficient. Assuming that the Minister is willing to show humility and common sense, and to accept the sage guidance and counsel of the hon. Lady and of my hon. Friend the Member for Ceredigion (Mark Williams), I am sure that we shall be finished in minutes rather than hours.
Question put and agreed to.
