Brough slips up on parliament question

Special Minister of State Mal Brough has made a mistake in answering a Labor question in federal parliament.

Mr Brough is the subject of Australian Federal Police inquiries into whether he received unauthorised copies of former speaker Peter Slipper's diaries.

Asked whether this behaviour was consistent with his role of overseeing parliamentary integrity, Mr Brough referred the opposition to a Federal Court judgment on April 27, 2014.

An AAP check of the court records found no such judgment.

However, Mr Brough was mentioned in a Federal Court judgment on February 27, 2014, in relation to the Slipper case.

Mr Brough's office told AAP on Monday the record would be corrected.
