Speaker 1
Order, order. Good afternoon to you both. Welcome back to the procedure committee. We're very grateful for your time this afternoon, hopefully to conclude the evidence session from last week which was interrupted by divisions. We have heard so many pieces of useful evidence from you both already, that's really great, thank you.
And we do look forward to hearing more today. And so actually before further ado, I'm going to pass to my colleague Bambas who was interrupted so rudely by the divisions last week to carry on.

So the question is, as you both know, the table office checks and, where necessary, subedits WPQs under the authority of the speaker and in line with the rules set out in Erskine May. These include the questions must have a factual basis, be within ministerial responsibility, and not be about matters of subjudice nor about matters where there is a government block due to the government declining previously to answer the questions. So do you think that the rules of order for WPQs remain appropriate?
