Madam Speaker, in 'Questions 555' of Practice it says:

… it is not in order for Ministers to be questioned on opposition policies, for which they are not responsible.

It was a page of Practice oft quoted in the previous parliament, as you would remember, Madam Speaker. And given that it was not within the question, it cannot be relevant and neither was it within his responsibilities.
