My dear colleagues, what the Leader of the Opposition heard or did not hear may be very unpleasant and he may feel aggrieved. However, in my opinion, what someone said or did not say constitutes not a question of privilege but debate. That is my decision.
Instead of seeking to continue what is in fact a debate, my decision is that this is not a question of privilege.
I have a point of order. The hon. whip of the Reform Party.
