Tony McNulty: The more the substance of the model that is before this House is looked at in detail in the ways that I have tried to explain today, the more the controversy falls away. Should there be serious discussion about these serious matters? Absolutely. But I would say as genuinely and as openly as I can to all colleagues on all sides, please look at what is before the House, and do not get lost in thinking that this is just another 90-day debate and all that we have done is think of another number. It is most profoundly not the same as what was on offer before. Your side, Crispin, do yourselves a disservice by not getting on to the detail and substance of what the model is, and instead arguing about what you think it should be. That is probably part of the reason for some discomfort in your own ranks.
