The hon. Members at the entrance may come in. I have a rather lengthy Communication to make this afternoon. Ordinarily, I would do so at the end of Question Time. But hon. Members know that this is a Supply Day. In addition to that, I have a request from the Minister for Finance to allow him to make a Ministerial Statement on a very topical issue, namely, the Charterhouse Bank. I am inclined to give him that opportunity after Question Time, so that he can keep this House, and the country, abreast of what is happening in Charterhouse Bank. I will consult him as soon as he comes in, so that he lets me know the amount of time that he will take to deliver his Ministerial Statement. I am taking into account also the fact that I am sure hon. Members will want to seek clarifications. The casualty in all this, unfortunately, is likely to be Questions, and I am sure the House will bear with me in this regard."}
