He made no order on the matter and now I am calling that an order and a determination need to be made on this because it is very clearly in breach of Standing Orders. As I say, it is open to the Government to suspend Standing Orders. It can do just about anything within the confines of the Constitution but it has not suspended Standing Orders and this is clearly in breach of Standing Orders. Moreover, it is bad legislative practice, bad administration and all of the rest. It would be useful if Members understood clearly what they were debating.
