[Stewart Hosie (Dundee East) (SNP)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I have just voted on the social security motion and ought not to have done so, as I chaired the Delegated Legislation Committee yesterday. I have voted in the Aye Lobby and the No Lobby to nullify the vote, but I owe you and the House an apology for that error of judgment.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

I think we will accept the apology. We do not want another Division, do we? Thank you very much for your point of order and your forward notice of it.
