I'm not going to belabour the point, but if there's going to be an attempt by some Conservative members to derail the Afghan detainee study through a debate or otherwise, we might as well have that debate here and get it over with. Certainly I am determined, on this side, as I believe my colleagues here are, that we should continue this Afghan detainee study. It is the Afghanistan committee. There are many other issues that we need to deal with. This is obviously still of pressing concern to members. I think we should indicate that today. The steering committee can add other things to it.
My understanding of the steering committee role was also so that we might not lose time. People can submit witness lists to the steering committee. Perhaps arrangements to have someone testify next week can be in order. Rather than waste another week, have the steering committee report and have a debate next week about whether we'll continue the Afghan detainee study. I think that's not what this committee should be doing.
I recognize, of course, that procedurally you might do it that way, but we're already on this road. Let's stay there unless the majority of this committee decides otherwise.
