I thank the hon. Gentleman for that point of order. As I understand it, if a request comes during the debate, it may be possible to suspend
the House and take a statement, but once the question has been put and the House is adjourned, it is not possible to have a statement tonight. If the hon. Gentleman recalls, at the end of the debate, the question is put about the House adjourning and that is the final decision on when it is adjourned.
