As I explained in the opening, normally the responses by the minister will be around the same time as the time used to pose the question.
Having said that, and for some of the members who have been through this process before, if the question compels a particularly complex response but the questioner takes only several seconds, clearly time must be permitted for the minister to respond to the essential tenets of the question that was put.
However, generally speaking, whatever time was taken by the questioner, one should try their best to fashion their response in the same time the questioner took.
