Rule 70: Prohibited statements and withdrawal orders in meetings

The passage shows that Rule 70 sets out limits on what Councillors may say in Council or Committee meetings. If a statement breaks those limits, the Speaker (or the Chairperson in a Committee) can order the Councillor to withdraw it. The passage does not say what the statements are that Rule 70 forbids, so that part is unclear. The quoted wording is from a different rule that refers to Rule 70, not Rule 70's own text.
