As I understand it, you made a statement about a letter that you sent my hon. Friend the Member for Hackney, South and Shoreditch, which is not a ruling. It is a letter, which avoids making a ruling on the Floor of the House. It is correct, is it not, Mr. Speaker, that rulings cannot be made by correspondence? Could I ask, therefore, in the light of your reply to me on my point of order, how it is possible for hon. Members to determine when they may be acting in default of the requirements and rules governing Select Committees and when they may be able to make public statements? This is surely not a matter to be left to the subjective judgment of Members. There must be clear and objective rules to which all Members subscribe. In the light of the statements that have been made, it will now be with very great difficulty that Members are able to establish when they have the right to make a statement.
