Text
I thank the Member for his intervention. Yes, there has to be adequate time. On the figures that are currently contained in the amendments, as set out, and as the Chair has already indicated, certainly, we will support Gerry Carroll's amendment with regard to the move from 14 days to 28 days. To be absolutely clear — this point will apply to other amendments in other groups later in today's debate — should the evidence of today's debate indicate to us that we need to bring further amendments, I am certainly not afraid of suggesting or saying in the Chamber today that those amendments will be brought forward at Further Consideration Stage.
