Paper 10 simply notes that the recommendation for addressing the chair, which we agreed on at the previous meeting, was seized upon by Sir David Steel and announced immediately. By and large, people have been using "Presiding Officer", but we are still hearing "Madam Deputy", "Mr Presiding Officer" and so on. However, we are moving in the right direction and will achieve a degree of uniformity. It is up to the Presiding Officer to police that. This paper simply notifies members of the announcement, in case they missed it in the chamber.
