I have already taken the opportunity, during previous questions and statements, to make it clear that I believe that unlawful activity and unnotified parades are things that Members of the House should not be engaged in. I also believe that Members should not be engaged in trying to draw me, as Justice Minister, into prejudging the outcome of cases that are with the police for investigation and may ultimately be before the courts. That, too, is a breach of the rule of law and due process, and I will not engage in it.
