May I indicate from the point of view of process—because the Democrats sometimes tack on amendments, as it were, to bills—that I take a case-by-case approach to these matters. Since the shadow appears not to have been briefed, might I suggest that a briefing prior to this matter might have assisted. It is a courtesy which is extended by ministers in other departments and probably by this department previously on other issues. That generally resolves issues of urgency effectively in my experience.

Question agreed to.
