My question is to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister agree that the positive GDP figure for March is almost entirely a consequence of a substantial decline in imports and an increase in exports, providing a 2.2 per cent contribution to GDP growth from net exports? If so, could the Prime Minister explain to the House how his spending policies over the last six months have influenced an increase in exports and a decline in imports?
