Hon Chairperson, last week during the discussions at the Chief Whips' Forum the fact that not all members serve in all portfolio committees was discussed. It was agreed by all the Whips that all members are entitled to participate in debates. That point should be clearly made and should not be used by the ANC to create the impression that members are not allowed to speak. [Applause.] [Interjections.] That hon member should know that.
