-----about some of the sales. The motion before the House seeks the establishment of a commission of investigation so we can get to the unblemished truth about all of this. It is most crucial that any investigation should have the confidence of the public. I would have thought the Labour Party would have taken some interest in these important questions, but obviously it is quiet in this regard. The line has changed slightly, to be fair. It has gone from "nothing to see here" to "very little to see here, and we are not going to work too hard to find out anyway". The only way to retain public confidence while getting to the truth is to establish a commission of investigation.

That is the way the Government should proceed in this matter.
