I respect that, Madam Speaker. As you know, my question related to segregation. On the evening of 2 October, the day of the announcement of the new policy for the public galleries, it was reported that the Prime Minister had asked you to reconsider the policy. However, the next day a journalist reported that your spokesman had said no request had been received from the Prime Minister to change this policy. Did you, Madam Speaker, receive a request from the Prime Minister to reconsider the policy?
