On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The hon. Gentleman is gabbling through a prepared brief. "Erskine May" says that printed notes are available by way of guidance for a speaker, but reading straight from notes is not permitted.

I hope that the hon. Gentleman will adjust his speaking rate and debate the matter rather than gabble a prepared brief at us.
