Mr Speaker, are you aware that House of Representatives Practice indicates that, certainly for personal explanations, there is a much higher standard of accuracy expected? It goes back to the Profumo case, in the United Kingdom, where it was held that, unlike in the banter of parliament across the chamber, for a personal explanation there had to be a higher level of accuracy held. Have you given consideration to that?
