On the point of order, Mr President: the minister was clearly answering by saying it was inappropriate to give the name of specific companies. The question was very clear. It said: can the minister outline the number of meat processing companies? How many of these would qualify? At no stage did the questioner seek the name. The minister is hiding behind the false assertion that a name was being sought in the question. Given the very specific question that was asked, I would invite you to invoke sessional orders.
