Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The question is based on an argument, an assertion and an inference, none of which are within the standing orders. There is no part of the question, therefore, that can stand. The Leading of the Opposition might try and reframe it, but he cannot begin his question with a false assertion and then base the question on that false assertion.
