On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is not telling me what he did with the postmortem reports. Where is the postmortem report, which he undertook to bring to this House today? He should not to request for more time to conduct further investigations. He should not tell us that he is concerned.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is quite clear that what the Attorney-General is seeking to do is to get you to overturn your own ruling. He is seeking to review your ruling without complying with it. I submit that before you can even address that issue, he ought to table the report as ordered by you, with a request, if necessary, that, that report should not be debated or quoted.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General is giving the impression that when he is exercising his constitutional mandate to direct investigations or order investigations, and he orders the Commissioner of Police, whoever is investigating to conduct an investigation within a certain time and give him a report, and that officer does not comply, therefore his hands are tied. Is that the position that he wishes this House to understand?
