Order. Mr Shelbrooke, your voice has continued even though I don’t see as much of you these days.

Thank you, Mr Speaker—I am not surprised Conservative Members are wound up by that. Does the Security Minister agree that at least one party in this House needs to behave within our values when it comes to security, and that security leaks are wrong?
