Mr Speaker, the question is not in order, because the person concerned ended being a member of parliament on 9 May 2016, when the writs were issued for the election. How he earnt income after that is not the responsibility of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Therefore, the question is not within her responsibilities and, as a consequence, she cannot answer. He was not the minister for trade on 1 July 2016. He stopped being a member of parliament on 9 May 2016.
