Although in the House there are no words in themselves which are unparliamentary, unfortunately it is also equally true that our flag and the waving of our flag are similarly not unparliamentary. It is the fashion in which words are used or a flag would be used.
In the opinion of the Chair at this time the use of the flag is inappropriate, so I would ask that you be kind enough to put the flags back in your desks, and we will resume debate.
