Vol. 960 No. 5

Personal Explanation by Member

When I made a statement during a debate on mental health, I spoke about a young man, Ben Garrett, and my facts were incorrect. Ben died tragically by drowning, and I am deeply sorry for any hurt I caused Ben's family. I have spoken to Mr. and Mrs. Garrett to apologise personally. I thank them for their kindness and understanding. I thank the Acting Chairman for accommodating me.
