Of course, the House is not aware of the nature of the statement to be made on Monday, which makes it difficult to discuss time, and all that. Is the right hon. Gentleman sure that the time lapse between Monday and Wednesday will be adequate to allow the House to examine the statement and properly to debate it on the Wednesday, if it is to be, as we all hope in the national interest it will be a wide and very important statement?
