The Speaker addressed the House as follows:-

Earlier today, the Member for Beaches-East York, Mr. Prue, provided me with written notice of a point of privilege, as required by Standing Order 21(c). I would like to thank the Member for giving me sufficient time to review this matter.

I wish to advise that I will be deciding on this matter without further hearing directly from the Member at this time, as Standing Order 21(d) permits me to do.

The Member's point of privilege relates to difficulties he has encountered with the National Advertising Standards Council, specifically its refusal to deal with a complaint launched by the Member. While the Member alleges that the refusal by the National Advertising Standards Council somehow curtails the freedom of speech of current and future Members of the House, he fails to explain how this is so. In addition, the Member will know that privilege attaches only to a Member's parliamentary duties, and not to subsidiary duties away from Parliament. I cannot find in the Member's letter any reference to the manner in which the complaint and the subsequent refusal to pursue it are related to the Member's parliamentary duties. In the absence of such crucial information, I have no alternative but to find that a prima facie case of privilege has not been established.
