Mr President, I too rise on a point of order in relation to direct relevance. My question was actually quite narrow in its focus, the question being: will the minister now concede that there are more children in formal detention, being the number of 1,600, than in 2010, when the previous minister announced that all children would be removed from formal detention? I too ask that you direct the minister to the question.
