¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, we agree to that on this occasion, on this day. But I just want to reiterate that the Committee on Parliamentary Business had agreed not to do this, not to take the 30-minute lunch break. But, since there was a request this morning, we agreed. But, please, let us not make this a habit.
