I seek leave to make a very short statement on the condolence motion.

Leave granted.

I have spoken to most of the representatives in the chamber about the government’s intention, given the way the schedule has been disrupted today, to bring on the condolence motion for Sapper Jamie Larcombe tomorrow at 12.30. I think it is generally agreed around the chamber, so we will look to do that in government business time, given that today has been a bit disrupted and we would not get to it until it is quite late. If people are happy with that, we will do it first thing in the morning.
