On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. After denying any knowledge, the Assistant Minister is now agreeing that this incident occurred five years ago. Is it in order for a Government Minister on one hand to say that he does not know and then confirm immediately without even blushing that he is misleading the House?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The word “Minister” is very well defined in the Standing Orders and we have no provision for the so-called substantive Ministers. Could he tell us whom he is referring to?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, normally, interdiction is for a limited purpose to enable prosecution. Could the Assistant Minister give the details of the case number and when the prosecution was started?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I asked a very specific question and the answer the Assistant Minister gave was that the case numbers are on the document that he has tabled. I have not had the privilege of seeing the document as you have, but now he is agreeing that, indeed, there is no document regarding the case numbers. Is he not out of order to mislead the House that he has tabled the case numbers when he has not done so?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is really a straightforward matter. We know this was an Assistant Chief. We know the system of communication in Government; from the PS the letters go through the PC, DC and DO. Why did you post a letter to a postal address which does not even belong to the Assistant Chief’s family? Is there no system within the Government which is followed to deliver letters?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister tell us whether they confirmed that this letter was, indeed, received, rather than asking the Member to forward the letter? This is a job that ought to be done by the Ministry itself.

Prime Minister, would you like to take them in batches or would you like all of them and then you can respond at once? What do you prefer?
