I only want to be quite clear. What we had wanted was Thursday and Monday of the following week, to give at least another day for examination. However, apparently the right hon. Gentleman is satisfied that the interval is enough. If he has doubts when the statement is prepared that it will not be enough, I hope he will think it right to postpone the Debate for a day, if that is thought to be desirable.
