Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I wish to interrupt the Minister of State for one second. I do not want to stop her and she can continue in a second, but we are over time, so I need to ask the Acting Leader to move that, notwithstanding anything in the Standing Orders of the House, the debate be extended to allow the Minister of State to finish her reply.

I propose: "That, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders or the order of the House today, the time for the debate be extended for the Minister of State to reply." Is that agreed?
