First, I begin by apologising for coming a little late. It has almost been a standard practice that I usually start, earliest at quarter past three or it usually goes up to 3.30 p.m. before I start. I understand that today, the Questions were fewer and that is why I was needed much earlier but I know that that cannot be an excuse; I am sorry, but I intended to make the statement myself today and that is why I did not delegate to anybody else."}
