I ask the Minister for a categoric assurance that he will not attempt to mislead the House in the future as he attempted to do a few moments ago.

Comment on this

There was no effort on my part to mislead the House. The proposal was made to discontinue this service. I am reviewing that proposal in the light of the meeting which has taken place. I certainly apologise for any reference to a decision having been made. It is not to be taken as fact that a decision was taken. It has not been taken.

I accept that.
