Personal Explanations

I have sought the advice of the clerk at the table and I must say that on my reading of this, without going to Odgers to look at the immediate precedent, I note it says:
A senator who has spoken to a question may again be heard ...
I am told that the word 'again' implies that is within the context of the debate and that the question has been disposed of by the vote that has just taken place. Secondly, Senator Boswell did seek—I presume under 190, 'Personal explanations'—
