Mr HOWARD (Prime Minister) (4:59 PM) —Mr Speaker, following question time today I examined the words I used in answer to a question from the honourable member for Oxley. In addition, I have consulted the clerks. I am advised that I am not required to withdraw the words used, given the context of the question and my answer. Nonetheless, to assist the House in setting a high standard in our conduct towards each other, I have decided to withdraw the word to which the honourable member took exception.
