It is an important point and I hope the Leader will respond. I understand that people must use a certain amount of script. It is essential when one is quoting from a report, for example. However, a routine has developed in the House whereby Members may come in willy nilly and read pages of scripts which are neither prepared by them nor read by them in advance and which are issued by their party press office even before they deliver them. I ask that this issue be seriously addressed.
