"Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I do not wish to delay the House long, but I have to raise this point because it is a serious matter. Under Rule 191(8), relating to the Committee on Petitions, of which I am a member, a petitioner to the Parliament can insist on anonymity. However, in a recent case being considered by the Committee on Petitions, the anonymity of Mrs X, a former member of Lloyd’s, was breached, and as a direct result of that, Mrs X is being pursued by the British Government to the full extent of the law.
This could not have happened if her anonymity had been preserved. It is essential, therefore, that this Parliament protect her position, maintain the rights of petitioners and stand up to the British Government. The chairman of the committee has written to you as a matter of urgency, but has not yet even had the courtesy of a reply. When will you respond, Mr President, and will you protect the rights and privileges of this Parliament and its petitioners?"@en1
