On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I apologise for interrupting the hon. Gentleman at the beginning of his speech but I have just had the opportunity to consider what the Leader of the House said—that he would be ready to make a statement during the debate giving hon. Members figures which otherwise would not be available until a few minutes before the Division. As the Leader of the House has offered to make this statement, I wonder whether we may ask, through you, Mr. Speaker, that the statement be now made, so that hon. Members will have more information than the Government have so far been ready to make public.
