On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 449 decisive votes (2 abstentions excluded).

Yes.
On being an expert, the longer I live the more I realise I am less of an expert on any subject.

I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy but we are over time.
We are out of time.
We are not having an interaction. We will just have the response.

Please stop.
I am not allowing this. The Deputy is out of order.
