Question accordingly agreed to.

10.13 pm
Dr. Julian Lewis (New Forest, East)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Did you notice, during the vote, a senior Cabinet Minister walking the length of the Chamber, presumably on her way to vote, clutching a mobile phone to her ear? Is that appropriate behaviour from any hon. Member, let alone a senior Cabinet Minister?

Mr. Desmond Swayne (New Forest, West)

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. You will recall, because I wrote to you a fortnight ago, that on Friday a couple of weeks ago an hon. Member entered the Chamber, sat just below the Gangway and sought to be called wearing a pair of jeans. Surely there must be a limit to modernisation.

Mr. Speaker

That matter did not arise today. The hon. Gentleman wrote to me, and when hon. Members write to me I deal with their complaints. So I have dealt with that matter.

I say to the hon. Member for New Forest, East (Dr. Lewis) that no hon. Member should come into the Chamber with their mobile phone. All mobile phones should be switched off before they come into the Chamber and no one should be in conversation on a mobile phone. I certainly hope that note is taken of the hon. Gentleman's complaint.
