We will move on to Other Questions. Question No. 24 will be taken with Question Nos 25, 29, 39 and 53. The maximum time under Standing Orders allowed for group questions is 18.5 minutes. I will endeavour to be as fair as possible to each Member, but they should bear in mind that the longer they speak the more time they are taking from their colleagues. The Minister has six minutes to make an initial reply. The 12 minutes allowed following that will be divided between the number of people who are down to speak.

How much time is available?

The Minister has six minutes, Deputy Boyd Barrett has a minute and the Minister has a minute to reply. Deputies Shortall, Barry, Coppinger and Murphy each have a minute and the Minister will reply to each Deputy. Deputy Boyd Barrett can then ask a final question, with the Minister to reply. I am only carrying out Standing Orders. If the Minister does not use the full six minutes and there is time available at the end, I will allow people to speak for a second time.

Deputy Barry is at a meeting of the Business Committee.

If he is not present in the Chamber, somebody can deputise for him.
