Mr Lamont: You normally address the Chair when you are speaking.

MR DE DOMENICO: I am not going to listen to you, by the way. The last thing I am going to do is listen to you. I will obviously do whatever you say, Mr Deputy Speaker.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I trust that everybody will do that.

MR DE DOMENICO: I am sure that they will. I will ignore Mr Lamont from now on. I put him on notice of that. Unless this letter was not written by you, Mr Berry, your Government promised some action 14 months ago, and we ask - - -

Mr Berry: We said that it was on the legislation program.

MR DE DOMENICO: No. What you said was:

I would expect to introduce them into the Assembly later in the year.

That is what you said. If you want to retract that, that is up to you; but that is what you said. I seek leave to incorporate Mr Berry's letter in Hansard so that Mr Berry can read exactly what he said.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 1.
