I take the opportunity to respond to Mr Kerr’s earlier point of order.

I understand that the established practice is for documents to be published at the start of a debate to ensure that information does not enter the public domain before it is provided to members. In that regard, I understand that embargoed copies of the report were indeed provided to assist members in their preparation for the debate. I hope that that is helpful clarification for members.

There will be a short pause before we move on to the next item of business.
