Members, before we take the next point of order, I wish to appraise hon. Members that in the recent past, the frequency of requests for Ministerial Statements is unprecedentedly high. I just want to encourage hon. Members that some of those requests, like the one in respect in which points of order have been raised amounting to a request which is, in fact, a Question – a one-sentence request asking for a Ministerial Statement! If hon. Members could be persuaded to agree to have those raised as Questions by Private Notice, they have great urgency in them."}
