I am not sure whether the member for Barker is crawling, but he does not get any special protection. On an interpretation of the agreement that was entered into, I will allow the course of action that is allowed in other jurisdictions. Tomorrow morning I will be making a statement that will indicate fully my attitude towards supplementary questions, but I indicate now that, as long as there is no preamble and the supplementary question relates to matters in the answer, the supplementary question would be in order. And it would be in order for the Leader of the Opposition or his delegate, as mentioned in the agreement, to ask the follow-up question.
