The minister will resume his seat for a second. Members on my left will cease interjecting. I've given the minister ample time for a preamble. The question itself didn't have a preamble. It asked three very specific questions that asked for figures, essentially. Whilst the minister can't be expected to have those answers with him, he needs to be relevant to the question or take it on notice.
