Any Ideas What This Pipe Does (Because I Snapped It!)

Hi all, whilst I was fiddling about about removing the air temp sensor & a few other bits to clean I managed to snap the little pipe that's to the left of the attached image :iim:

I've glued it back together & used gaffer tape to reinforce it but I'd rather replace it now I know it's been bodged.

Does anyone know what it does? (my car drives fine incidentally) I was hoping to source a replacement for the weekend when I'm joining the blanked EGR valve club! :driving:

Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

    I believe this is the pipe that feeds additional air into the bottom of the inlet manifold when it's 'on choke'
    It connects the outlet of the Supplementary Air device to the underside of the inlet manifold.
