On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your guidance. You will recall that in business questions last week, I asked the Leader of the House whether it was possible to have a debate on the number of leaks coming out of the Department of Health and going straight to the hon. Member for Livingston (Mr. Cook). You will be aware that a Mr. Pashley has been caught as the mole and that a Mr. Graham Best, who is an adviser to the hon. Member for Livingston, is clearly implicated with Mr. Pashley. Have you received a request from the hon. Member for Livingston, as the shadow health spokesman, to make a personal statement bearing in mind his at least indirect implication in the crime?

I heard that this matter was raised with the Leader of the House. I have received no such request from the hon. Member for Livingston (Mr. Cook).
