If you're going to start playing games with me, Mr. Dewar, and trying to belittle me and calling me a racist, like you did, that is not going to go anywhere.

Mr. Minister, on the previous question, when you were interrupted you wanted time to finish that. Maybe you are finished now.

No, I'm finished. But this has to be a dialogue, Chair, and if I'm going to be interrupted at every instance, I cannot supply and give a proper answer. Now, whether or not he disputes the length of my answer, or whether or not he is in agreement with my answer, that's up to my colleague, but I am giving our position.
I have said that we have not accepted an emergency passport. That is well documented. I explained to him why we did not accept that. He asked me whether or not I am aware that we are giving Mr. Abdelrazik the per diem, whether or not I'm aware the he's in our embassy in Khartoum. Of course I am aware of that. He is not going to get anywhere by belittling me and by calling me a racist like he did a couple of weeks ago.
