It's the base that is covered; it's the proceedings of the House that are covered. I'm not yet aware that the Speaker has made a ruling that Twittering or Facebooking or communicating on a BlackBerry constitute part of the proceedings of the House. I stand to be corrected, of course, in the presence of the Speaker, but I'm not aware of that.
