Mike Penning (Hemel Hempstead) (Con): Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. [Hon. Members: "Mr. Speaker!"] I apologise, Mr. Speaker. Following your comments that the House should be fully informed, may I say that 700 jobs have been lost at my hospital trust since the Secretary of State came to the House for questions, and that we have a deficit of £30 million? Doctors, nurses and porters are being made redundant, and the House has not been informed about that. Mr. Speaker: I am sorry, because I never like to hear about job losses and redundancies in any industry. It is the job of a local Member of Parliament to put those matters on the record in the House. The hon. Gentleman has done so, and I am sure that he will find other opportunities.
