The best thing that can happen is that an opposition member tries to make a point. This gives you time to answer it in detail before returning to your wider points. Ideally, over a three-hour speech, you would want 20-30 interventions.
I think we've had that here. We've had a kind of back-and-forth. We've heard from Mr. Simms and others occasionally to correct it.... I've prompted corrections as I've gone along.
He continues:
Arguing over the meaning of terms such as “could” and “might” is a useful delaying tactic, too.
I have forgone that need to debate the definition of “could”, or “might”, or “is”, or other definitions.
