Mr Speaker, this follows on from a question I asked of you on 22 June with respect to your rulings regarding statements by members that are required to be withdrawn. This afternoon in question time the honourable member for Sydney requested that a statement be withdrawn. You initially declined to require that statement to be withdrawn and subsequently, as a result of points of order, asked for it to be withdrawn.
