On an important point of order, a reference was made to a third party, Ms Cora Sherlock of the pro-life campaign, who I happen to know. I would be fairly sure that she was referring to 90% as the figure for Britain, which makes its own point about what happens once this is legalised. Whether I am correct in that, it is utterly unfair that it would be alleged that a third party got her facts wrong. I am fairly sure she did not, but she should not have been referred to in any event by my colleague. I ask Chairman not just to note that but to agree with me in regard to references to third parties.
