My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. Given that the cables we have been referring to point exactly to the circumstances of AWB’s potential involvement in the breach of the sanctions regime of the United Nations and that you have stated a general awareness of it at the time, did you not fundamentally mislead this House when you said, ‘The allegations raised came to my attention as a result of the Volcker inquiry’? Isn’t this just another part of your personal cover-up?
