Order! Regrettably, the two submissions that have been put to me are slightly defective. As I understand it, not only from the standing orders but also from the way they have been implemented in the past, a chair of a committee can only be asked about the administrative conduct of his or her committee. The fact that this question is based on statements that he has made well and truly puts it outside the way in which the intent of standing order 99 has been seen.
