Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, and I'm grateful to everybody who took part in the debate this afternoon, with the potential exception of that somewhat bizarre contribution from Darren Millar. Deputy Presiding Officer, it's the role of oppositions to oppose Governments, usually, and to seek as many different parliamentary techniques as possible to frustrate the Government from getting its business. This must be the first occasion that I can ever remember where an opposition has not simply waved through Government business but said they don't want the option of scrutinising Government legislation as well. It is quite a bizarre situation to find ourselves in. I welcome the—. Darren wants to make an intervention.
