Martin John Docherty (West Dunbartonshire) (SNP)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. The Minister has called into disrepute a national organisation voted by, and elected for, the students of this country. Should he not withdraw his comments immediately? It is a disgrace to his position.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)
The Minister’s language was perhaps not exactly what I would have chosen myself as a matter of taste, but it is not for me to tell the Minister exactly which words to use. He was not strictly outwith the rules of the House, but I am sure he will now very positively return to more tasteful and moderate language.

Order. I think the hon. Gentleman might like to rephrase the last sentence of his intervention.
Martin John Docherty
I will rephrase it, Madam Deputy Speaker. It feels like murder. [Interruption.]
