On a point of order, would it be appropriate to suspend the sitting for ten minutes at 3.15 p.m. so that Members might watch the Cheltenham Gold Cup on television?

I wish I could facilitate the Deputy but it is not within my power or authority to do so. Doubtless he will receive news about the race shortly and I hope he backed the winner

With three fancied runners in the race, I thought it might be appropriate.
