I propose to take Questions Nos. 26, 34, 35, 59, 75 and 102 together. As a general practice, it is the view of the Government that persons occupying the positions mentioned by the Deputy should refrain from any public statements of a partisan political nature and should not become involved in controversies which of their nature are likely to become highly politicised.
