Yes!

The hon. Prime Minister forgot to add the name Mr José Arunasalom who resigned on 24 March as well and who was present in Rose Hill.

That is not a question! You are forever angry because I am not stopping others.

No, Madam Speaker.

I have stopped many people today. Don’t make statements!

Yes! The question is, Madam Speaker: is the hon. Prime Minister agreeable that he should, if he hasn’t done so, secure the allegiance of key people who are still in post and that were close to the former Deputy Prime Minister? I will not give names; you will know it better than I, but have these persons now sworn allegiance to Government, to yourself or are they still faithful to the former…

I don’t think there is a need to answer that.

There is! Key people in key institutions!

(Interruptions)

Do you want to answer that?

I can’t really answer that question but I know what he is trying to say.

So, they have? Have they sworn allegiance to…

Don’t speak…

Yes, Madam Speaker. Unless I have missed it, has Ambassador Perrier from Mozambique resigned or is she still in post?

No, Mr Beechook, I can tell you; I remember. Nobody from abroad resigned.

No, but he can answer.

Non, il ne le sait pas.

Yes, nobody including her.

No, but he must listen to the reply. Is that right? Nobody from abroad resigned?

Yes.

Okay, where were we? Mr A. Duval, have you finished with your question? Yes. Okay, now we have got Mr Quirin. IRÉVA VILLAS PROJECT – SCAM ALLEGATIONS – INQUIRIES
