Mr. Paterson

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Could you report to Madam Speaker that because the guillotine has been imposed today, we have had a farrago of parliamentary inspection of the Bill. Perfectly sensible points were made on the question of Cabinet arrangements and the Secretary of State made no answers. He merely read out a crib from his civil servants. On cross-border co-operation —

Mr. Deputy Speaker
