Mr President, I am not one of the more paranoid members of the House, so I am not going to ask about my own communications. I think, Mr President, the issue is not really only about whether the government is doing this, because I take you at your word. I believe there is a policy and there is a procedure, but there is a problem with private people, both through connections in the state - people acting illegally - and then also using their own technology and resources.
To my mind, the issue is not simply a question of saying that the government is to blame. I think there is a broader issue about the environment in which we live. The lighter side of it is that members of your own Cabinet believe that there are honey traps being set for them. [Laughter.] Political leaders claim that they are being investigated, even suspended ones, now. [Laughter.] There is a lighter side to this, but I think underneath it is a very serious issue about what the capacity is that exists in our country for this kind of monitoring. Does the government have a handle on it? I take you at your word, but I think that it would do the citizens a great deal of good and provide comfort to some of your colleagues for them to know that, in fact, they are in good hands, Mr President.
