Of course, I sympathized with the circumstances, but this House runs on Standing Orders. If a Question has been dropped, it has been dropped. You must find a way of asking that Question again. Then the Question would have come to me and I would have done some work on it, with or without amendments, and come back at an appropriate time, maybe six months later."}
