Just to the point of order that's been raised—there are two different ways words can be ruled out. They can be ruled out on the basis that they're personal reflections. I think that was the ruling you gave on Tuesday as to whether or not that turn of phrase would be a personal reflection. It would not be. There's a second concept of unparliamentary terms. The Causley ruling says that that is what this is.
