leadsom a liar. following last wednesday's difficult day, mr speaker, can you clarify a point of chamber etiquette.lleague a liar? i am grateful to the honourable gentleman for his point of order. what i would say to him very respectfully and courteously, by way of reply, is that i made a statement on those matters in the chamber, i think at the time, what i said was very clear to people, and i do not feel the need to add to that statement. my position has been very explicit. i thank the honourable tournament for inviting me to dilate on the matter, but i do not intend to dilate on the matter. we shall leave it there. i am deeply obliged to him. point of order, mr kenneth clarke. would you agree, mr speaker, if every time a member of this house has felt moved to say under his breath something rather abusive about another member, action was taken, the chamber would be deserted ? quite a waste of time. would you not agree, it is best to leave this to the body that is now investigating it and perhaps hope that some common sense will be applied to this rather overheated subject? the longest serving mp
