Now the House will understand that on that particular development it would not be appropriate for me to comment further, but I'll take one intervention
0:07
Order, order, order. We're getting very carried away about the way the Metropolitan Police has been thrown around
0:16
I'm meant to have been contacted, I have not been contacted, and I have the House
0:20
The House will understand that I am not responsible for the ministerial answers
0:30
Let's just put that one on the record and let's see if we can tie this up a little bit. For avoidance of doubt, I understand there is an ongoing police investigation into this case
0:39
However, no charges have been brought. The House subjudicive resolution does not apply
0:46
in the context it is up to the Ministers how they reply
0:51
but the House rules do not prevent them from answering fully so please let's not hide behind that something's not factual
0:58
so let's get this on the record and I still haven't had the phone call
1:03
could I just say in respect of that Mr Speaker I hear precisely what you say
1:10
and I entirely accept that interpretation is due to see rules I'm certainly not hiding behind it
1:16
and indeed I will come to some remarks about this in a moment Maybe I can help a little bit
1:21
but I think the answer was that we can't do this because there's a police investigation
1:25
and I think we've got to recognise that is not a reason so please, let's not play off each other
1:31
I've made my point from the chair Completely accept that Mr Speaker
1:34
I'll take one intervention here then I'll take one over here
