No. When the decision is made by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, after its consultation and if it goes that far with senior counsel, we will only then know what it views as our remit because the argument is that we are within the remit. Then there is an argument that we are testing the boundaries here. After that, we will know exactly what needs to be addressed in the context of Standing Order 163. They are the steps that have to be taken. We can take the first two steps immediately and then the final step as to the remit of the committee. If that needs to be changed, we will get an application together for a change. That goes to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges also. Are we agreed on that?
