Order! As I have indicated in the past, this illustrates the dilemma that a Chair is in. The Chair does not know the answer. The question has been asked and I am in a position where I have to make sure that the standing order, which is direct relevance, is what we are seeing in the response. So far, I believe that is the case. I understand—and I have repeated this—that sometimes when people ask questions they expect an answer in some form, but I cannot direct the form of the answer.
