§ Sir Harmar NichollsOn a point of order. Is it in order to ask whether the Chair finds any satisfaction in having had 69 Questions answered today and to observe that if the supplementary questions asked by Labour Members had been as pithy as the Ministerial answers we would have done even better?
§ Mr. SpeakerFactually, we reached Question No. 69, but that does not mean that 69 Questions were answered.
The Chair is always happy when we make progress in Questions. We make progress if Ministerial answers and supplementary questions by back benchers are concise. That is the fact of the matter.
