Mr David Wilshire (Spelthorne, Conservative)
Further to that point of order, Mr. Gale. I am grateful to my opposite number, the hon. Member for Bradford, South (Mr. Sutcliffe), for speaking to me a few minutes ago. As I said to him, I should be grateful if you would give me a while to talk to my hon. Friends, who have only just discovered what the situation is. We shall co-operate and come back to the Committee as soon as we can with a Programming Sub-Committee resolution.
