Text
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I suggest that, to help the timings of the day, we could take the statement now, and then break. Members would then have their lunchtime to assess the statement. That would be helpful, because there is a lot of business scheduled, which will take us into quite late this evening. If the statement were to be made now, we would have lunchtime in which to consider it and could ask questions on it later.
