Order! The Prime Minister will temporarily resume her seat. I am trying to avoid using the word ‘paradigm’, but in the old paradigm this type of indirect relevance would have been allowed. But, as I said earlier, I have an expectation that the intention of the agreement was that there be less debate in answers. Whilst I was quite happy to allow the first part of this answer, because it could be seen to relate to changing circumstances of a point of policy, to go wider is fraught with danger. The Prime Minister has one minute, 53 seconds that she can choose to use. The Prime Minister will be directly relevant to the question.
