I understand that. But it will be close to 6.30 pm, which is when we suspend for dinner, and we will not have got to the first amendment. I am seeking some indication from other parties on this. If the minister is happy with this proposal, as he indicated to me earlier, we will suggest that we adjourn a couple of minutes early and come back after the dinner break to deal with the major bill.
