I think the proper way to deal with it is through a personal explanation at the end of question time. But I do not think is a good idea that the basis for a question is a quote without being able to substantiate it. I will check the standing orders, but I suspect that standing order 100 has something to say about it. The standing orders say facts and names of people, unless they can be authenticated and are strictly necessary, are not in order. The Leader of the Opposition should take that into account.
