Order, hon members! Although the debate is concluded, there is a matter that we need to deal with before this EPC rises. Hon members will recall that we had an unfortunate incident during the course of the debate. The matter has now been discussed with the whippery of Cope and I recognise the Hon McIntosh.
Must I speak from here or there? [Laughter.]
Order, hon members!
I would like to apologise to the hon Chairman for the distress that I caused him in the discussion about speaking from my bench or from the podium. [Applause.]
Order, hon members!
Hon Chair, may I address you? In view of the goodwill expressed by Mr McIntosh, will you also apologise for not recognising me when I rose on a point of order? [Interjections.]
Order, hon members! Hon Chief Whip of the Opposition, you are too big not to be recognised. [Laughter.] That concludes the business of this Extended Public Committee.
