00:00I have to say to the Minister, I am sorry that I have to address you on this matter rather
00:06than the Secretary of State.
00:09It is shameful that this announcement was not made to the House post and it is an immense discourtesy to
00:17the House that the Secretary of State did not come here to make the statement.
00:23I am sorry that Sky News is more important rather than the members of both sides.
00:28It is appalling treatment.
00:31The Minister will know that this issue has been of great interest to the House, evident from the many questions
00:38asked by honourable members from all sides of the House.
00:42These have been asked and answered over recent months despite any concerns about a quasi-judicial process.
00:51Let me not hear that is the excuse.
00:53It is simply not good enough that it was trailed by the press last night and announced all over the
01:01media this morning by the Secretary of State before it could be properly scrutinised in this House.
01:06And this isn't the first time on this subject.
01:09That's what's more shape.
