I do not wish to encourage interjections. The problem that has occurred when we have entered into these discussions is that it leads people to believe that the person raising the question is reflecting on the chair. I do not think that that is the case. The point that I would make is that I do not think that there is any advantage by people asking for advisory rulings. The Chief Government Whip by his body language can just be a bit careful, because I am trying to set the scene. He interjected at one stage about points of order and their disruptive nature, and I tend to agree with that. But that might be best raised at the time and not by way of advisory rulings. That is all I am simply saying.
