    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I want to thank the Chairman of the Budget Committee for raising this matter and highlighting the situation we are in. But I also take the view that this House continues to sit constitutionally until 14th January, 2013. It is a view that we have been discussing within the House Business Committee to see whether, indeed, the earlier date of 20th December, is realistic as our cut-off point. It is becoming increasingly clear that we still do have other issues that also need to come in on devolution and the supplementary budget which will also unlock money for devolution and several others. I am aware that the Minister for Finance is working on all those issues; we will try to get all that in by Tuesday; this will fit in within the remaining days. That is about the most we can do; it is a unique situation; we are required to do it now because of having to go. Ordinarily, there would have been more time, but it is just that we do not want to leave it to the new Parliament; we do not know when it will sit to actually dispose of the matter. But we will do our bit and try to get in within Tuesday, and then plan our schedule accordingly."
