Child Protection

I understand the hon. Gentleman's frustration. I have been following the debate carefully, even when I was not in the Chair, and it has been characterised by a large number of long interventions, which contribute to it but inevitably take time out of it. Some of those interventions were made by people who are seeking to catch my eye, and that is counter-productive. I must agree with the hon. Gentleman's point that, increasingly, the share of the debate taken by Front Benchers is not fair on Back Benchers.
