I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman, whose speeches are normally compelling, but on this occasion there is one flaw. If this motion is passed, it is the democratic will of the House of Commons that standing orders be amended, and therefore that has democratic backing. For him to say it is not democratic is simply wrong.
