Madam Deputy Speaker, the hon member should be aware that information regarding whether the Deputy President held a meeting with a person and, if he did, what was discussed at the meeting is not usually provided in reply to parliamentary questions. This is done in order to ensure the confidentiality of the meetings that the Deputy President has.
However, notwithstanding this, I would like to inform this House that I have already instructed my legal representatives to demand a retraction from the Financial Mail as the allegations contained in their article are devoid of any truth. At the time I was unaware of the ITWeb article that contained similar allegations until this question was tabled. I have now instructed my legal representatives to follow the same course of action in this regard. Thank you.
