Order. I am sorry Minister, but—

[Robert Neill]

I am delighted to see you, Ms Primarolo.

[The Second Deputy Chairman]

Good. I would like to hear you as well as see you.

[Robert Neill]

I am sorry. I was distracted momentarily by my hon. Friend the Member for Mid Dorset and North Poole. You can understand how I am torn in those circumstances. I hope you will forgive me.

[The Second Deputy Chairman]

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman could move closer to the microphone and then we could all hear his excellent explanation.

[Robert Neill]

I shall do so.
