Brendan Ryan (Labour)

The House's time will be taken up by dealing with ethics legislation, but none of us needs to know what is right or wrong. We have enough ethics legislation, but we need people who will admit that they know the difference between right and wrong. We do not need more ethics legislation. The Houses' time will be taken up. I was going to make an offer to the effect that we would stay out of the matter and let the Government parties debate it because they need to clear their consciences.
