My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the claim by the Leader of the House that the Constitution allows a minister to keep their job for three months after being disqualified by the High Court reflect government policy? Is the government making this absurd argument now to ensure that the Deputy Prime Minister has all the benefits of office, because he is already campaigning for re-election in New England?
