On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 637 of 646 decisive votes (3 abstentions excluded).

This debate is to be finished by 12 o'clock and I want to give them their ten minutes. I am asking the Minister of State, with respect, to make the rest of his speech available to Members.
