    "content": "here to do their work, however you feel about the Finance Bill or any other business. You may as well protest in the constituencies or anywhere else but do so peacefully and in line with the provisions of the Public Order Act. I do not think there is any sinister move in excluding people who the Inspector-General of Police feels are a threat to the security of Members of Parliament. Above anything else, as the substantive Speaker said yesterday, our own safety here is paramount. That is why he was pleading with us to allow the Serjeant-at-Arms to conduct body searches on each one of us. I allowed the Serjeant-at-Arms to carry out a body search on me. I was hoping he would name the Member who threatened to strip because a Serjeant-at-Arms officer asked for permission to search her. As the Speaker said yesterday, we must be careful so that we do not lose anyone because of a bombing or somebody walking in with a gun. I remember in the last Parliament, there was an incident where a Member who was seated behind me was said to have carried a gun into the Chamber. The issues we are raising are not hot air."
