Mr. Chair, can I just interrupt for a second?
I want to flag this now. The mumbling in the room is getting slightly louder and louder by the minute. I noticed it a couple of minutes ago, and it's just getting louder and louder. Obviously, this is really making it difficult for us to continue in this way, so I would like to be able to flag it right now.
I understand that members are obviously going to have discussions while we're here, but that being said, let us take the time, when it happens, to raise it with the committee, to make sure that all members are being quiet.
I believe this is a very echoey room. It's a lovely room—we love the Railway Committee Room—but it's... I don't know what it is, but it's marble, and the sound bounces.
I don't know what it is. It's limestone, isn't it? It doesn't matter. It bounces sound.
As a result, let me sincerely request from the chair that we make sure to keep the sound to a minimum. I would genuinely appreciate that.
