Mr Speaker
I was not aware that we were, but the nod of the Secretary of State’s head perhaps provides the hon. Gentleman and the House with the succour that he sought.
Mr Andrew Robathan (South Leicestershire) (Con)
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You very kindly referred to me as potentially gallant—I am not sure whether that is right—but I do not think that we ought to take this practice too far. I am sure you would agree, Sir, that we should not extend it to former members of cadet forces.
Mr Speaker
Something tells me, innocent soul that I am, that the right hon. Gentleman, with that rather puckish grin, was having a bit of a dig.
Mr Speaker
I will just say that the right hon. Gentleman has made his point with his usual force and eloquence, and it is on the record.
