Text

Thank you, Deputy Speaker. There was a proposal from Paula Bradshaw a few moments ago in respect of Standing Order 25. Have you made a ruling on that, and, if not, can you give some clarity to the House because, quite frankly, what we are engaging in is a farce?

It is a farce. The Members opposite are gloating about it because they think that they have claimed some victory today. It is an abuse of Assembly time and an abuse of democracy. If you are not going to accept Standing Order 25, what is the point in any of us still being here tonight? It is a farce.
