Mr Deputy President, I believe those remarks are unparliamentary. To describe the minister in those terms goes beyond the normal range of political debate. He may well cast judgement on a range of the minister’s administrative abilities, but to go to the question of the manner of his behaviour being honourable or otherwise I believe to be outside the normal convention of what is regarded as parliamentary.
