    "content": "For avoidance of doubt, we need to appreciate one thing – committees of Parliament and indeed the House make recommendations. Even in instances where the committees stumble upon malfeasance in Government agencies and departments, they make recommendations to the House. Even if the House agrees, those recommendations could, among other things, be directing that a certain agency responsible for criminal investigations, corruption investigations et al, take up the matter. When a matter has already been taken up and is active in court, I will look with disfavour any report from a committee of this House purporting to be also investigating. Where matters have already been taken up in court, what other investigations will we be engaging in? It will be a waste of resources. If the matter is one of those issues that are likely to be raised in court, even to sit and listen to any information or evidence would be prejudicial. You could prejudice somebody’s defence or case from the prosecution. The better position would be if it is the same matter and you are sure it is the subject matter of the criminal charge in court---"
