Mr Speaker, you might not be aware that today our guest the Speaker of the Pakistan People’s Assembly was asked to spread his legs and be frisked as he entered the House. Can you ascertain whether or not this is true? I know that, when members visit other parliaments, we are ushered through as parliamentarians. I think it is incumbent upon those who are entrusted with the security of this place to receive instructions that people such as Speakers and parliamentary delegations from overseas countries are given the same courtesy that we receive when we visit overseas countries.
