It is now 10.18 pm. I am unable to get agreement from the usual channels to finish the last amendment, which is a bit disappointing. If I cannot get agreement then we will have to adjourn. In all my years as Opposition Chief Whip, I have never been in a situation where one amendment cannot be finished off.

My Lords, I understand that there has been agreement with the usual channels. I do not think that the matter is in my hands.

In this situation, the House will resume. It is very disappointing. Never in my time as Opposition Chief Whip would I have acted like that.
