That is the way the standing orders are written. I'll just brief the House so everyone knows. Standing order 47(e) says:

If a motion for the suspension of orders is moved during Question Time—

after the terms of the motion have been proposed by the mover, a Minister may require that further proceedings in relation to the motion take place at a later hour, as set down by the Minister.

That has now occurred.
