Mr Speaker, first may I thank you for your answer to the question that I asked yesterday. I have a further question to you. Again, I thank you for your letter to me indicating your intended approach to the matter of a claim of possession of the Order of the British Empire award by the member for Bass. Will you report your consideration to the House in the usual way so that the member can at least be comforted that the formal processes of the House for a breach of privilege will not be invoked whatever chiding he may remain at risk of from members on this side?

I thank the member for Denison. I think he probably has given an answer to his question by that statement. I believe that all members are now aware of the content of that letter.
