Madam Speaker, the ANC supports Parliament's Budget Vote. We support it because we believe that it provides Parliament with the necessary resources to realise the vision of a people's Parliament. We believe that this budget goes a long way towards addressing that. We don't believe that we are quite there yet, but we believe that under the leadership of the presiding officers and the administration of Parliament we are moving in a correct direction.
We reject absolutely the continuous attempts by the DA to create divisions between presiding officers and the administration. There are no such divisions. All of those officers and institutions are working in terms of the Constitution and the rules of Parliament. We have already dealt, at length, with the spurious allegation that Parliament is being sidelined. We make of Parliament the institution that it should be, and I think this budget represents an attempt to do exactly that. That is why we support this Budget Vote. Thank you. [Applause.]
Vote agreed to (DA dissenting).
