It is unusual to raise a point of order at this stage.

I was advised by the General Office to raise the matter at this point. My question No. 11 was not due for answer until tomorrow and therefore I ask that it be deferred until tomorrow.

There is the risk that if you seek a deferment your question may be deemed to be a repeat of another question.

I shall have to look at the question very carefully. Perhaps the Deputy would think again on the matter.
