I have a point of order, Mr President. It goes to the changes to the standing orders that this chamber passed in relation to the change from relevance to direct relevance. The minister is talking about water projects and infrastructure projects and that might be relevant. But the minister was asked very specifically for two pieces of information. He has now taken one minute and 53 seconds and, given that neither of those two specific pieces of information has been supplied, if direct relevance is to mean anything in this chamber the minister’s attention needs to be brought to those two specific pieces of information or he should be sat down.
