My question's to the Prime Minister. Doesn't the Prime Minister's announcement just before question time about the arrangements for who'll be acting Prime Minister confirm that the Deputy Prime Minister cannot do his job? Or are we simply meant to believe that it's all a big coincidence?

The Deputy Prime Minister is on leave next week, as I've said.
