Thank you for your ruling, Mr President. But, if I were simply to come to the chamber to ask the question, 'Was the Office for Women consulted on the inquiry?' and did not give you the context in which I was asking that question, the minister would be incapable of answering it. I gave the context because it was required for comprehension of the question, not as an excuse for this minister to avoid answering the question. Was she consulted or was she not?
