Here here

Posted by A confused yank on March 08, 2006

I on occasion here British politicians in Parliament use the phrase "here here". Dumb question I know, but what does that mean? "can I get your attention"? or maybe "what are you saying"? or "shut up, that comment is out of order"? or "its my turn to speak"?
Can anyone clue me in?
