My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday the Prime Minister refused to answer when I asked how many executive orders, grants, delegations, appointments and legislative instruments the Deputy Prime Minister has signed or made since the government became aware there were doubts over his qualifications. So I ask again: since the government became aware there were doubts over the Deputy Prime Minister's qualification to be a member of parliament, how many executive orders, grants, delegations, appointments and legislative instruments has the Deputy Prime Minister made or signed?

The government does not doubt the Deputy Prime Minister's eligibility to sit in the parliament.
