I agree with my hon. Friend. The reason why the hon. Member for Nottingham, South does not believe that there is a Whip is that he is one of the Conservative Members representing Nottinghamshire. He is that naive that he does not understand that the Tory party has issued a two-line Whip to everyone except those representing Nottinghamshire. The hon. Gentleman is not smart enough to understand that he is being left out. My hon. Friend sussed that out at the beginning. The Tories are kidding the hon. Member for Nottingham, South on.
