On a point of order, Mr Speaker. At yesterday's sitting, during the Matter of the Day on Casement Park, Mr Phillip Brett said:
"It was not a DUP Culture, Arts and Leisure Minister who was forced before the then Committee for trying to bury a report that related to safety concerns." — [Official Report (Hansard), 16 September 2024, p4, cols 1-2]
I invited the British Cabinet Office to investigate those allegations, which were proven to be incorrect. I want that on the record. Like other Members, I am well attuned to the cut and thrust of politics, but I believe that that went well below what was acceptable, and I want that to be recorded in Hansard.
