MR SPEAKER: Mr Osborne, you are suspended for three sitting hours.

Mr Moore: On a point of order, Mr Speaker: Standing order 165 provides that in case of error the Assembly votes again. The Clerk, in reading out the names, called the name of Ms Follett. Perhaps we should call the count again.

MR SPEAKER: There is no point of order. Mr Osborne, you are suspended from the Assembly for three sitting hours.

Mr Osborne accordingly withdrew from the chamber.
