• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this debate is being turned into a Government- Opposition debate, unnecessarily by the Leader of Government Business. I had said here that I, personally, am a Member of the Government and a whip, one of the two chief whips in this Coalition Government. I want to follow my conscience! We need the opportunity, as hon.
