On indulgence, Mr Speaker: I apologise for not mentioning Dalma Dixon. This will be her last day in the parliament in her current position. She retires on 15 December, although rumour has it that she will not be entirely lost to the system and the service. She has been a wonderful occupant of her position and has always done her job efficiently and with unfailing politeness and grace. I thank her and wish her well.
