Are we not meant to be taken fourth?

Comment on this

If the Deputy has a question on promised legislation, I will take it. If he has not, we will proceed.

Comment on this

I have a question on legislation. I will ask my other question later as I think we should be taken fourth but we are consistently not taken fourth.

Comment on this

I call all parties that have indicated. I am sorry if I do not call them in a manner that is satisfactory to the Deputy.

Comment on this

There is no problem with the biggest party being called, and then the second and third.

Comment on this

For the Deputy's information, I call people as they indicate. I am not divinely inspired.
