Carál Ní Chuilín: Thank you, Minister. That ends Question Time and topical questions to the Minister. We are going to return to the debate on budgetary pressures. We need to wait for the Minister of Finance. I ask Members to take their ease until the Minister arrives. OK, Nuala?
Carál Ní Chuilín: Thank you, everybody. As I was saying, Nuala, you are next up to make your winding-up speech on the motion, and you have 10 minutes.
Carál Ní Chuilín: I ask Members to take their ease while we change personnel at the top Table. (Mr Deputy Speaker [Dr Aiken] in the Chair)
Carál Ní Chuilín: David, unfortunately, there is not time to ask a supplementary question, but you will get a response. That ends the period for listed questions. We will now move to 15 minutes of topical questions. Question 6 has been withdrawn.
Carál Ní Chuilín: Minister, you have less than a minute.
Carál Ní Chuilín: Is there a question?
Carál Ní Chuilín: Is there a question?
Carál Ní Chuilín: Minister, please answer quickly.
Carál Ní Chuilín: I call David Brooks. Be very quick, if you can.
Carál Ní Chuilín: There is one minute left, Minister.
Carál Ní Chuilín: Question 8 has been withdrawn.
Carál Ní Chuilín: Question.
Carál Ní Chuilín: A question, Mr Gaston.
Carál Ní Chuilín: Mr Chambers, is there a question, please?
Carál Ní Chuilín: Question, please.
Carál Ní Chuilín: I call Paul Frew to wind on amendment No 2. Paul, you have five minutes.
Carál Ní Chuilín: The Member's time is up. The Business Committee has arranged to meet at 1.00 pm today. I propose, therefore, by leave of the Assembly, to suspend the sitting until 2.00 pm. This debate will continue after Question Time, when Nuala McAllister will be the next Member to speak as she winds up on the motion. The debate stood suspended. The sitting was suspended at 12.53 pm. On resuming —
Carál Ní Chuilín: Your time is up, Gerry.
Carál Ní Chuilín: I will call Timothy Gaston. Timothy, you were not in the Chamber when I said to Gerry that it is normally a courtesy to be in for a debate rather than to walk in and expect to get the full five minutes, so you are getting three if you wish to avail yourself of them.
Carál Ní Chuilín: The Member has an extra minute. I remind Members that interventions are supposed to be shorter than speeches.
