Acting Chairman:

Before we continue, I wish to state, for the information of Members, that it is a long-standing tradition of both Houses, that persons outside the House who are not in a position to reply should not be attacked or referred to in a personal way and that persons who are not able to defend themselves should not be referred to in such a manner as they can be identified. The Chair will, at all times, do nothing more than implement the rules of the House. There is nothing personal in that and Members must be conscious of those rulings and try to abide by them. The Chair is the sole judge of fact. On that basis, we will resume our deliberations.
