If the amendments are not dealt with tonight, and we continue tomorrow morning, the meeting that we have then could potentially—indeed, will—clash with other committee meetings. Those of us who have lodged amendments take them seriously and would want to move them. However, people such as I have committee responsibilities that are as important.
You will probably tell me that this is not a point of order, but I bring the point to your attention because it is an important one, and I ask for your advice on it.
