Wandering horses as a road hazard
Lipper warned that wandering horses had caused road fatalities and urged effective legislation to address the danger. The Chair stopped him from making a speech during Question Time, and the Minister said Lipper’s own question was further on.
Is the Minister aware that this is a very serious problem? Wandering horses have been responsible for fatalities on our roads. I am not interested in cars; they are material things and can be replaced. This is a serious matter which requires urgent attention.

I am very interested in this matter and that is why I put down the question. Wandering horses are a hazard on our roads and the Minister responsible must legislate effectively to get rid of this problem.

There are other times for speaking. This is Question Time. I have been very lenient with the Deputy because he is a new Deputy. He cannot get up at Question Time and make a speech. It is not permitted and the Chair is the sole judge. Standing orders are explicit on this matter and I will have to rule accordingly.
