I have some general comments to make before we come to the amendments that I propose to move. One could not help noticing that the connection between the comments made by the minister in his speech in the second reading debate and the facts was, as usual, quite strained. I suppose language is a curious thing. How a person who is older than another can be their love child is a curious thing that only this minister could concoct in his fervent attempt to get a line.
