Raised a point of order arguing that a privilege issue involving a Member’s security should be referred to the Committee on Ethics and Privileges rather than merely communicated to the IGP. He noted that two conflicting reports had been issued regarding the Member and said the matter was serious enough for the Committee to summon the IGP.
