Oh, we will discuss it. We're discussing it right now, and yet, with the cameras on and people witnessing our conversation, you won't commit to it. You understand the difference between discussing something and committing to something, and you also understand the difference that “just trust me” isn't going to work in this particular conversation, because “just trust me” was what the Prime Minister was doing. Also, to the comment that we're here to try to embarrass the Prime Minister, he's doing that all on his own. He doesn't need my help. He doesn't need the help of any of us. He's conducting himself in the way he thinks is best, and frankly, as I commented before, I think his comments have been beneath the office of the Prime Minister when he literally stood in front of buses to talk about how terrible Jody Wilson-Raybould was in her role and how she disappointed him— my goodness—misunderstanding the role of the attorney general entirely. That's fine; I'm sure he'll have a briefing.
I have one quick comment, Chair, to you, because with regard to sub judice—something before the court that we would worry about impinging upon—thankfully, 35 years ago we had a ruling by the Speaker of the House of Commons. I'll read it just to assure committee members that we can investigate this case while it's going on in court:
The House has never allowed the sub judice convention to stand in the way of its consideration of a matter vital to public interest or to the effective operation of the House.
Does anyone want me to repeat that?
