Mr President, my point of order is on the question of direct relevance. The minister has used the first quarter of the time available for his answer merely to ridicule the person who asked the question and to ridicule the opposition. He was asked a specific question about the tender process. He was asked a specific question about how the government proposes to proceed from here. He was asked whether or not the Solicitor-General's advice would be made public. He has not approached any of those matters and you, Mr President, should direct him to the question.
