My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's answer in which he said that his government would not introduce legislation unless it could be carried on its own numbers. Given that the Prime Minister has a majority of one, doesn't every member of his backbench, including the former Prime Minister, now have the same power over government policy as the Prime Minister himself?
