Thank you, Mr President. I wonder whether you could consider whether that question is in order. Odgers' makes it clear that a question which invites a minister to comment on the policies of non-government parties or other parties is not in order. There are a number of rulings—by President Sibraa, President Reid and President Calvert—which I am happy to go to. I am raising a point of order about whether the question that has been asked is in order.
