During question time today, I was ordered to leave the chamber for one hour under standing order 94(a). Despite my extensive experience in such matters, I subsequently re-entered the chamber before that hour had concluded as I had not properly kept account of time. I apologise unreservedly to you and to all in the House for this error.

I remind all members of page 536 of Practice and note the use of standing order 94(a) is taken as an alternative to naming a member. The direction to leave the chamber is a serious offence. While maintaining order is part of my responsibility as chair of this House, I ask all members to closely follow and observe all standing orders.
