With your permission, I should like to raise on the Adjournment the matter of Question No. 36 and certain matters relevant to it arising out of the reply to the question.

Might I point out that I have given all the information I was asked for on that question? That information is what this man is charged with and what convictions were made against him. I have given all the information that can be given about his convictions.

I am not satisfied with that.

You want to blackguard the man fully when he is outside the House and cannot answer.
