Mr Speaker, given the hour and given the fact that we have only just been advised of your deliberations, I would ask that you give us the opportunity overnight to consider your deliberations with a view that we may well recommend to the House that the matter be referred to the Privileges Committee for further investigation. I know that it should be done at the earliest opportunity but in order to be fair to the respective parties that have an interest in this, and given that it is now five past 11 at night, I would respectfully request that you give us that opportunity when we meet again tomorrow morning.
