The hon. Gentleman really ought to answer the Question. Will he and his hon. Friends try to wreck the Assembly? I have heard statements on television to the effect that the newly elected Executive will not be allowed to go to the rostrum to put its point of view. Is the hon. Gentleman advocating that? He has a duty to answer that question. What does he mean by "big guns"? I understand that he does not mean guns in the physical sense, but what does the phrase mean? The hon. Gentleman has just made a long speech criticising the Executive and the White Paper, advancing constitutional arguments against them, and then talking about wrecking. What does he mean?
