I thank you, Sir William, for calling me because I thought that probably I could not be seen in this corner of the Chamber. I should hate to think that my shadow had diminished to the extent that I could not be observed. As you will know, Sir William, I was in the Chamber before you vacated the Chair and Mr. Thomas took your place. I have not left the Chamber during the whole of the afternoon. I therefore felt that it was right to make a few comments, particularly in view of the fact that when the hon. Member for Ilford, North (Mr. Iremonger) was on his feet he asked Mr. Thomas to take note of the fact that his hon. Friend the member for Sevenoaks (Mr. J. Rodgers) would hope to catch the Chairman's eye, when the hon. Member for Sevenoaks had never been in the Chamber at all.
