Mr Speaker, I am sure that you are familiar with the Deputy Prime Minister’s view that ministerial answers should be limited to four minutes. Given the view of members opposite and the support of members on this side for such limitations, would you please consider asking ministers to bring their answers to a close at the four-minute mark?

Order! Again I am not extending to making opinions about matters of procedure. I will indicate only that, as Speaker, I wrote to the Procedure Committee asking that they continue a reference that they had in the last parliament. That is it—full stop.
