"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have always reminded Members to distinguish between points of argument and points of order. That is a point of argument. The point I am making is very valid and I hope that the hon. Member will listen carefully. It stands within reason that as this House is sitting here today, all of us cannot look at those CVs. I have not been privileged to look at those CVs. However, I believe that the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is within his right to look at those CVs and make a decision that he is competent enough to bring to this House for further scrutiny. That is the point I am making. I, however, agree with the House that these names should be subjected to the scrutiny of the relevant Departmental Committee so that when they are brought to the House, it will be convinced that we have had yet another body to vet and bring facts bear to the House. Better listen to two people rather than one. We shall have listened to the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs and then we get feedback from our Departmental Committee."
