I will deal with this very quickly. I will firstly make four comments. First, that was not really a question to me at this time because this time is for questions about administration, so I am trying to be consistent about that. Second, I will not look at the tape because I am trying to be consistent about that. Third, the member of the Speaker’s panel has my utmost confidence in the way that she conducted the proceedings at the time. The fourth point is that the basis on which I am able to confidently say that is that I happened to be watching at the time. The ruling that the Deputy Speaker made at the time was a legitimate ruling.
