Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Your first ruling contained a very important precedent insofar as you said that questions could relate only to things within a minister’s portfolio. In fact, they may also relate to public affairs with which they are officially connected. Therefore, public statements made by ministers about public affairs are matters about which they can be asked.
