Yes, indeed. What I wish to say is that I do not have instructions in relation to these amendments. I can only assume that they have been circulated to the shadow minister, and I am working on the assumption that if I speak very slowly I might, I hope, get some instructions in relation to this matter. I could talk about last night, I suppose—about the dinner I was at with some of the parliamentary secretary’s colleagues! I am working on the basis that there are no issues with this, but if the parliamentary secretary wants to say a couple of words I would be very grateful.
