What has previously occurred with respect to the MPI, on a number of occasions—not a large number—is that, when there has been a compelling reason for debate, the MPI has been withdrawn either by leave or by the person who wrote to you not being in the chamber at the time. It had been pointed out to me that that process was less respectful to you—and, Mr Speaker, you're aware that that had been pointed out to me.
