Text
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You know well that I suggested at the Business Committee today that we come back tomorrow and, if we do not complete, we come back on Thursday. As far as I am concerned, that would have been two full plenary days that I was up for. I also said that I would be prepared to work through any evening. On the point that Mr Frew or Mr Buckley made about shutting down Members who are not on the Committee, I have offered to meet. I emailed at the start of the summer, and I emailed when we came back after summer recess. I am happy to sit down and meet any MLA individually or by party. I am equally happy to meet the Minister and the Committee. I am not running away from this and have offered other solutions, but three or four days of going over the same ground is ludicrous.
