With great respect, the way members entitle themselves, I think, would be the responsibility of the Speaker. Strictly speaking, I understand it is the Prime Minister who allocates portfolios, but you did say that they retained both titles—that is, ‘assistant minister and parliamentary secretary for’. I just assumed we would not want to mislead the public or anyone else. That is the way they would communicate their responsibilities.
