• 5 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the word "lie" is unparliamentary. So, I beg the hon. Member to withdraw that remark. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons, I have no idea and I have not received any information.
