Lord McCarthy: Is the Minister saying that, in fact, we cannot stop now, because of some rule he has? I think the general wish in the Committee is to stop now. If we go on, many people will go away.

However, if it is the general wish of the Committee—and I do not want to take this as a precedent that we should stop now—I beg to move that the proceedings of the Committee should be adjourned until 3.30 p.m. on Monday next.
