Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Michael Lord): I did not want to add to the interruption caused by the Minister's mobile phone during his speech, but I must tell him that Mr. Speaker takes a very strong line on these matters, so I suggest that in future the Minister either switches off his phone or, better still, leaves it outside the Chamber.

Question put and agreed to.

Adjourned accordingly at eight minutes past Six o'clock.
