I have answered this question several times over. I have made the point several times now: there is no place for bullying. We are involved in a parliamentary democracy. There are occasions, when people seek to persuade each other on the merits of their arguments on policy and personnel, where things can become a bit robust and willing. Always, when we seek to persuade each other of the merits of our arguments, it ought to be done with courtesy and respect, and you will find that is a point I have made many times over the last few weeks. With that, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
