On a point of order. I saw about five slips of paper being thrown into the box without being mixed up, Mr. Speaker. The odds are that the hon. Members putting them in last will have their slips chosen.

The hon. Member is very observant. I did not observe it. At one time, it used to be said in the Army, "Shake the bag."
