Special Minister of State Mal Brough has dismissed accusations he provided media with excerpts of former speaker Peter Slipper's diary.

Mr Brough also faced calls to resign over his alleged involvement in obtaining the diaries.

James Ashby, former staffer to Mr Slipper, has previously stated Mr Brough was among the Liberals he consulted about his complaints while still employed by Mr Slipper.

The allegations were raised in Question Time by shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus, who outlined alleged correspondence between Mr Brough and Mr Ashby, including emails and texts regarding obtaining copies of the diary.

Mr Dreyfus asked: "Isn't it crystal clear the Minister should resign?"

He also sought leave to table text exchanges between Mr Brough and Mr Ashby, but that was denied.

Mr Brough told Parliament he had not provided any journalists with unauthorised copies of documents such as diaries to journalists, and referred members to findings by the Federal Court.

The exchange comes after Leader of the House Christopher Pyne said he would potentially gag Parliament if the Federal Opposition continued its "attacks" on Mr Brough.

Mr Pyne said he would not allow the Opposition to attack Mr Brough amid ongoing investigations by the Australian Federal Police.

He told Sky News earlier today that Labor were using old allegations to "find a way into the debate".

"We often gag the debate, especially when it's political stunts from the Labor Party, and what they were trying to do last Thursday was a political stunt," Mr Pyne said.

"There's no new information that has come to light about the involvement of Mr Brough in these matters."

Mr Brough was challenging Mr Slipper for the seat of Fisher at the time of the alleged misconduct, which he has flatly denied.

He has also previously denied allegations repeated by Federal MP Clive Palmer, who last week told Parliament that Mr Brough asked him for money to help fund a legal case against Mr Slipper.

Mr Palmer used parliamentary privilege today to allege Mr Brough approached him in April 2012, asking for an amount nearing $200,000 to help "destroy" Mr Slipper.

Mr Slipper later lost the seat of Fisher to Mr Brough in the 2013 election.
