Mr President, we spend an inordinate amount of time preparing for these emergency sessions in meetings that seek to obtain consensus across all political groups.
It is rather a shame that some groups constitute a majority of Members present and re-table amendments that reject joint resolutions, and hence the commitments made by people working with us in these joint meetings, and which demolish the resolutions we have drawn up together. I find that quite tragic. It is a great shame for the work we are accustomed to doing together in this House and for the preparation of those Tuesday afternoon meetings, which not many of us attend.
