I am always reluctant to become involved in political debate. Deputies can say what they like politically, but an accusation was levelled at a Minister of State - I do not know which of them - of being deceitful. It is not in order, and is contrary to Salient Ruling 416, to accuse anybody or any Member of being dishonest, deceitful or underhanded. Insofar as the two Ministers of State who are present are concerned, I can state with some emphasis that they are totally transparent in how they do their business. Indeed, if other Ministers were half as transparent as they are, we would have less to worry about. The claim that was made is not in order.
