Mrs IRWIN (3:43 PM) —Mr Speaker, is it correct that you have issued a directive that children should not accompany members of parliament on official parliamentary delegations?


Mr SPEAKER —I will respond to the member for Fowler from memory and, if I am inaccurate, return to the House to correct the record. I am not aware of having made any directive as the occupier of the Speaker's office. I believe it was a directive made by predecessors of mine.



Mr SPEAKER —I have been given a certain reassurance that I may in fact have been accurate with that summary answer. I will come back to the member for Fowler if I am in error.
