I thank the Leader of the House. That is the normal practice. If there is an issue at the time for the point of order to be made, but for the abundance of clarity, practice does state on page 549:

Where a question may involve the responsibility of more than one Minister, it should be directed to the Minister most responsible.

That is not necessarily the first part of a question or the second part; it's where the majority of the question will be done. My advice would be if you're asking a complicated question, make sure the majority is to that minister. In that case, in my opinion it was right down the middle.
