On Tuesday last week, Mr. Lekuton demanded a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of State for Defence. I undertook to deliver the same, and you directed that I deliver the Ministerial Statement today. I have been here from the beginning. I thought the procedure was that Ministerial Statements should be issued before other Ministerial Statements are sought. I am ready to issue that Ministerial Statement. The Ministry of State for Defence is very efficient. I would like you to allow me to deliver the Ministerial Statement."}
