Chairperson, I will not go into the details that are currently before the court, save to say that the hon member should look at the legislation passed by the House. You can look at section 199(1) of our Constitution, where there is a clear definition of our role as the security services of the country.
Security services are defined as the defence, police, and intelligence services. Equally, earlier on, hon member Mr Lekota also made reference to the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act. We did apply the law. [Interjections.]
The reference to the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Act would be in a position to indicate that it does provide for issues of a broader definition of national security. Equally, a copy of the Act is available to clarify that broader mandate. There are a number of pieces of legislation that govern our task in executing our role to secure the state, our people, and our interests as a country. I thank you. [Applause.]
