I thank the Manager of Opposition Business for his point of order. As I said yesterday, the Prime Minister needs to be relevant to the question by remaining on the policy topic. Whilst I know that is frustrating, I am not going to cover all that ground again and detain question time other than to say the standing orders, of course, mean that the opposition gets to write the question but they do not get to write the answer. The Prime Minister is relevant, and I am listening closely to his answer. The Prime Minister has the call.
