David Norris (Independent)

With your indulgence, a Chathoirligh, I would like to withdraw a word I used during my contribution. You have not asked me to and neither have any of my colleagues, but I used the word "perjury" and that was in anticipation of a hypothetical Supreme Court judgment. The privilege we all have in this House is something very precious. It needs to be used judiciously. I would wish to do so, and I look forward to making strong comments on the analysis of the Bill, but out of a sense of justice and because it was anticipating a hypothetical judgment, I would like to withdraw it.
