I can't agree with the Leader of the House. The Practice has made it very clear since 1901. It's not for the Speaker to vouch for the accuracy of questions or, indeed, answers. If someone claims to have been misrepresented, we've got the standing orders so organised that there's an official capacity for them to do that at the end of question time or at the end of when a comment has been made. The question is in order.
