Again, Mr. Speaker, if I might reiterate, this is an allegation. Even though it is done in the protection of the House and not outside, perhaps it should be treated a lot more carefully but my learned friend obviously does not want to.
If the allegation is that there was an irregular payment to anyone at a band level or with whom we are dealing with, any place in government, then bring forward the evidence and we will check it out.
At the same time I have asked my official to check out the allegation and look into the books of the former Tory government to see what is there. I am quite prepared to give that information to my friend.
