I will continue my speech, because I didn't seek leave. I didn't seek leave, but it is nice to know that leave is not granted. It is nice to know that the Leader of the House is not quite paying attention tonight. Maybe he should have finished at 7.30. It gets a bit late in the day for him. Even though leave wasn't sought, leave is not granted. Thanks for that! It is good the know that he's the chief parliamentarian in front of us tonight, because he's the person who has shown the least respect for the parliament. Let's not forget that. It is no surprise that he is one of the ones who went home early last term.
