It seems that we will be working on Arbuthnott intensively for two or three weeks after the recess. It is perfectly normal practice, even in this Parliament, to ask for written evidence first.
We cannot await answers from a minister when we are at the last meeting before the recess. I would like us to take a decision today to move forward in the fastest possible manner.
Remember that we have to fit that in with parliamentary business. The week before we return from recess might be better because the schools are back before us.
