Speaker’s Statement

Contribution

I would like to acknowledge that there has been significant public interest in the case involving the murder of Henry Nowak. The case is of legitimate interest to the House, and I note that sentencing will take place today. My understanding, and agreement, is that the Government will bring forward a statement on the matter tomorrow. If, for some reason, that statement is not forthcoming, I would look favourably on attempts to bring the issues raised by this case before the House by other means.
