Geraint Davies
On a point of order, Mr McCabe. Like you, I sit on the Panel of Chairs. I was here for the first one and a half hours of the debate, and I had to leave the room for 20 minutes. I have introduced a Bill on sugar, and I was wondering whether I could crave your indulgence and make a small contribution, given that the debate is meant to go on until 7.30 pm.
Steve McCabe (in the Chair)
You are welcome to intervene in the debate, Mr Davies, but we have moved on to the winding-up speeches.
Geraint Davies
I appreciate that, but I was wondering whether you might exercise some discretion.
Steve McCabe (in the Chair)
No, we are going to continue with the winding-up speeches.
