Points of Order

The difficulty with the hon. Gentleman's point of order is that he is expressing himself in hypothetical terms. [Interruption.] Order. It is not reasonable therefore for him to expect me to reply. [Interruption.] I have seen a letter on this matter, but I am not sure that it quite warrants the description that he has just offered. [Interruption.] Order. He should calm himself. What I would say to him is that if he is genuinely interested in exploring this matter further, it is open to him—and perhaps I encourage him—to write to me about it. I will study his letter with care and if anything disorderly has taken place, he will learn about that. I was genuinely sorry to see the hon. Member for Beverley and Holderness in a state of some angst and obviously feeling that he had a justified grievance. I do not think that he did have, but I am going to be fair to him. If he wants to have one more go, he can, but he had better not take any liberties.
