I have notice of a point of order.
Before we start questions to ministers, I ask whether the Presiding Officer has observed that for environment and rural development question time this afternoon neither question 1 nor question 2 has been lodged and question 9 has been withdrawn, and that for health and community care question time question 1 has been withdrawn? As someone whom the computer has not favoured with my name coming out of the hat since April 2005, I wonder whether it is possible for you, when questions are not lodged, to consider taking the next people on the list, who in this case would have been in the 11th and 12th positions, so that they have the opportunity to lodge questions? That would give those of us who regularly put our name in each week with little result a little more chance to ask questions and hold ministers to account.
I understand the member's point and where he is coming from, but members will be aware that such matters are matters for standing orders. A change in procedure to effect what Mr Stevenson requests would require an amendment to standing orders, which in turn would require a motion to that effect from the Procedures Committee. All I can suggest to Mr Stevenson is that if he fleshes out his proposal and submits it to the Procedures Committee, it will no doubt care to consider it in the fullness of time.
