Is it not a fact that officials sitting in the official Gallery often pass slips to the Treasury Benches? Similarly any visitors sitting in a box can pass on a slip at any time?

Understanding this quote
The speaker points to a possible double standard. Officials seated in the official Gallery are said to pass notes to the Treasury Benches, while visitors in a viewing box could also pass a note. The question asks whether both actions should be treated alike, rather than assuming that one is acceptable simply because of who is doing it.
