My colleagues, when in the preamble we refer to votes the Speaker is put in a precarious position. Is it the preamble that leads up to the question? I am trying very hard to listen to the questions themselves, which may be in order, but I find sometimes that you push the preamble so far that you seem to want the Speaker to intervene earlier than he ordinarily would.
I ask you once again, in your preambles you must stay within the confines of the question you are going to frame. Once again, I will permit the Minister of Justice to answer the question, but he is under no obligation to do so.
