Mr President, I rise on a point of order. The minister is taking less than 15 seconds to answer his question, so there is not much time to take the point of order. The questions are very specific. The questions go to Treasury modelling; they are not about a government decision. We are asking him to confirm Treasury modelling. To dismiss the question and to dismiss your advice is, again, a reflection on the minister. I ask you to bring him back to the question that has actually been asked.
