On a point of order, Mr President: question time becomes a farce when ministers simply attack the questioner instead of attempting to answer the question. On the point of relevance: nowhere has the minister in her 15 seconds so far even bothered to address the question. She has simply, as she always does, attacked the questioner personally because quite obviously she is incapable of addressing the substantive part of the question.
