Former MP for Gainsborough
I observe that there is a Question on the Order Paper to my right hon. Friend tomorrow about Cyprus, and that will give him an opportunity to say whatever he thinks is right.
Yes, certainly.
That is looking a little far ahead. It had been our hope to have the Welsh debate before Christmas. Plans were in hand, but it was postponed as a result of representations made through the usual channels.
If the hon. Gentleman will possess his soul in patience, he will, in a few minutes, get a reply.
I do not think that it will necessarily be within the first week after we return.
All these matters will be noted.
I think that we had better see what the defence White Paper looks like before we decide on how long we take to debate it.
I am quite sure that the Government will see that adequate time is given for any important matters and changes about defence.
