Question accordingly agreed to.

Mr. Foulkes

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I think that the Minister may have inadvertenly misled the House in his speech, and may want to take the opportunity to put it right. He said that he had placed a memorandum in the Library. In fact, since then, Strathclyde has produced a detailed refutation of the memorandum, Has another memorandum been placed in the Library since the original? I am not clear.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

That is not a point of order for me. I am sure that the Minister will have taken note.
