I have an explanation to give. I also have a right to speak.

Line six or seven of Standing Order 108(2) states that we can deal with all matters so long as they are assigned to us from time to time by the House. It is always the House which assigns the work. The only place you will find any powers is under Standing Order 108(2)(e). But this power is subservient to that which is given by the House.

I don't care whether I am defeated or not. I'm just saying that that's wrong. I'm allowed to say so.
