.. in politics.
1:00:05
- Married yet?
- Ask me again in half an hour.
1:00:11
What?
1:00:12
- Nothing.
- The Member for Cheltenham.
1:00:15
- Arthur!
- Shh.
1:00:16
I beg to ask the Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs...
1:00:19
.. to clarify his position
in respect of the proposed scheme.
1:00:23
Hear, hear! Answer, sir!
1:00:27
Let me first of all
thank the Honourable Member...
1:00:31
.. for his articulate contribution
to the debate.
1:00:36
Since I last addressed this House
on the subject,...
1:00:40
.. I have had the opportunity...
1:00:42
.. to investigate this scheme
more thoroughly...
1:00:45
.. and to grasp fully the ramifications
of our lending it support.
1:00:53
I have to inform the House...
1:00:56
.. that I was...
1:00:58
.. mistaken...
1:01:01
.. in my original perceptions...
1:01:03
.. and that I have now taken
a rather different view.
1:01:15
Ow, ow!
1:01:20
I find that now I must agree
with my Right Honourable friend...
1:01:24
.. that this is indeed an excellent scheme.
1:01:28
A genuine opportunity.
1:01:34
An opportunity,...
1:01:36
.. particularly if you happen
to be a corrupt investor...
1:01:44
A corrupt investor
with nothing but self-interest at heart.
1:01:53
Now it is my utter conviction that
this scheme never should have had...
1:01:57
.. or should ever have
any chance of success.
