The hon. Gentleman has raised his concern under the guise, or within the clothing, of an attempted point of order, but as he knows—his puckish grin merely testifies to his awareness of this—that is not a matter for the Chair.

The Secretary of State is leaving it there, which he is perfectly entitled to do. I thank him for his statement and his responses to questions.
