I am grateful to the hon. Lady, and we will do our best to accommodate the problems that she has identified.

Item No. 3 on today’s Order Paper, titled “Business of the House (29 March)”, makes reference to a motion being tabled

“in the name of the Prime Minister relating to exiting the European Union and the Environment”.

That was not mentioned in the business statement, so could the Leader of the House clarify the matter? In the light of yesterday’s events, may we please have a debate on community cohesion and the Prevent strategy?

The answer to my hon. Friend is that yesterday’s business was interrupted for the reasons we all know about. That business on the Pension Schemes Bill has had to be rescheduled, and conversations through the usual channels agreed that that slot on 29 March was the best way to accommodate that.
