§ Mr. John Sykes (Scarborough)On a point of order, Madam Speaker. On Thursday, before Business Questions, I made an intemperate allegation relating to Opposition Members and the Register of Members' Interests. With your permission, Madam Speaker, I wish to withdraw the remark, which was made in the heat of the moment. I apologise to you and the House for any offence that I may have caused.
§ Madam SpeakerI am much obliged to the hon. Gentleman. That is precisely the way in which we should deal with such matters in the House.
