I welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Cook. I wish to thank you for attending the Programming Sub-Committee and for listening to its deliberations. You will know that the motion was agreed without opposition because, through my good friend in the usual channels, the dates and timings were agreed beforehand. Indeed, you will also know that we have provided for a substantial amount of time—more than other parties asked for—to facilitate wider debate on certain areas of the Bill.
