The list of ministerial arrangements was a matter of contention during question time. I indicate that the clerks rely on the underlying administrative arrangements that dictate which pieces of legislation are being looked after by ministers when they allocate who they would put a question in writing to. While that is not a parliamentary document but a government document, that gives guidance about who has responsibility for what in this place. So I would recommend that document to members who have some concern.
