Mr Speaker, I ask a further question of you in relation to your answer. First of all, can you inform the House, now or at a later stage, what those guidelines or rules might be that apply and how it is that, in particular, Mr Edward McMillan-Scott, the Vice-President of the European parliament and a Conservative MEP, I might say, was not given appropriate treatment in this House nor were the appropriate courtesies extended to him. I ask further whether indeed government ministers may have had some role in your decision.
