I would suggest that the seven minutes will allow more to be involved and engaged. Sometimes we do run a little short on the rounds of the questioning, and that would certainly give everybody an opportunity. Surely in a seven-minute period of time you can put forward your case and your question, but it certainly would allow more of a round of questioning, particularly for some that come in under one hour and shorter time periods.
