It was not known precisely when the debate would start.
But I think it's important to get the debate started.
In the 1960s, a debate started over when eternal life began.
Security had cleared everything for levels around before the debate started.
I'll be back when the debate starts, in about half an hour.
The debate between competition and service of general interest has only just started.
Of course, that debate starts here and now in March 2002.
That debate has already started, and will go on until the first half of 2006.
In my opinion, if he is half an hour late, the debate should start then.
The debate would be starting in less than five minutes.
