Thank you. If the question that’s tabled is then accepted by either the Presiding Officer or, in the absence of the Presiding Officer, me, it’s deemed to be an urgent question. Therefore, it should be heard in the same way as urgent questions that you may think would be urgent, not necessarily that everybody else thinks are urgent. So, it’s down to the Presiding Officer. I think that the criteria that were used today were that this is the last sitting of the Assembly before the break, and therefore it gives Members an opportunity to question relevant issues that may have already just been issued as a statement. It was accepted on that issue. But thank you for raising that point of order.
