I liked this related rates of change question. Most of these would ask for the rate at a certain depth, this was more difficult as it asked for the rate at a certain time. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths

Thank you Deputy Speaker 👍
In case you missed it, 100 voted for the bill for a Customs Union with the EU, and 100 voted against
Deputy Speaker Caroline Nokes cast the vote aye, to allow further debate, "Who will prepare the bill?"
