In respect of the last point raised by the hon Swart, when I looked at the report of the Moseneke Commission last year, the question of tools of trade of Members of Parliament was raised, and he said the tools of trade are best dealt with at the institution. I think that when we deal with the issues in the handbook we should understand that in the main they are tools of trade.
If you revise the handbook, what you may well have is a situation that there are more people outside of the new rules that are set. I am saying forgive me father for I have sinned, whoever you may be, father. For now, I have sinned. I've made an error of judgment. Let's live with it.
You see, there are a number of issues in the background to this thing. When I first became a Minister, every time I needed to go somewhere, my protectors had to spend two days at the government garage, pleading for a car. We would get what the drivers didn't want.
We improved on the system, and then there was the 70% rule that seemed to provide for a BMW 5 Series that was adjusted when all of our salaries were adjusted last year by the Moseneke Commission, and this is an unintended consequence. It's important to understand that these issues have a background and a history, and I want to plead, as the hon Buthelezi did last week. Thank you. [Time expired.]
