OK, I made a mistake. But I wasn't the only one.

I knew that we had to elect two deputy presiding officers, so naturally I put two crosses on the voting paper. Yes, I heard Mr Fergusson say that the election for the first deputy presiding officer was open, but he didn't say we should only vote once. So I got a little confused.

All this voting stuff is difficult, you know, especially when it's a free vote and the Whip doesn't tell you what to do. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Now, remind me where the bar is ...
