Lord Foulkes of Cumnock
My Lords, what is happening in the Chamber is fairly open-ended. If we adjourn, by the time the Statement and all the interventions are finished it could be quite late. A number of noble Lords wish to speak in this Committee and it could drag on and on. It might create problems for the Grand Committee in terms of the time we are able to meet. I counsel us to continue.
Lord Tunnicliffe
My Lords, perhaps I may suggest a compromise—that we proceed with the debate and adjourn when the Statement is notified.
