Is it possible to ask that conversations be taken outside?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416890\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The second thing is that my colleague just said she is 62 years old. I do not know if it is allowed under the Standing Orders to lie about one's age. I appeal to your judgment on that.</p>",

Est-ce possible de demander de tenir les conversations \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416890\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La deuxi\u00e8me chose, c'est que ma coll\u00e8gue vient de dire qu'elle avait 62 ans. Je ne sais pas si c'est permis dans le R\u00e8glement du Parlement de mentir sur son \u00e2ge. J'en appelle \u00e0 votre jugement l\u00e0-dessus.</p>"
