Hold on, I have made it very clear. Everybody can be disappointed. The Deputy should take his seat. Other Members came into the Chamber. Deputy Sherlock is entitled to speak for as long as he wishes. If Members want to speak, they have to be in the House. They were not here, and the order of the House was that we would go onto Second Stage. We have gone on to Committee Stage and we are looking at section 1. Deputy Wallace indicated that he wanted to speak and if any other Deputy wishes, they may also do so, but they must speak to section 1. It is not a Second Stage speech. There is nothing I can do if the Deputy is not in the House.
