I have devoted half an hour to these two questions and the Deputy is raising a point of order. Is this fair to the House?

Are you allowing me to come in or not? Say yes or no. I would like to know why you ruled out of order my Private Notice Question.

This is getting serious now. Is this not disruption of the business of the House?
