I concur, actually, with the point of order that's just been made, but I would say to the Manager of Opposition Business: in terms of the Deputy Prime Minister's answer, because the question was so specific, I've listened very, very carefully to every word. In terms of how he addressed that question, he was completely relevant for the first part of it. The question didn't have a preamble and it didn't allow him scope to move onto the broader subject. But I would say he certainly addressed and was relevant to the question in the beginning of his answer.
