Procedure for remaining questions
The Chair said unanswered questions would appear on the 5 April Order Paper unless Deputies requested written replies. After Deputies sought clarification, the Chair confirmed that written replies should be requested in the office.
The remaining questions will appear on the Order Paper for 5 April unless Deputies seek a written reply. I hope that is clear.

As most of the remaining questions are relatively non-contentious is there any chance that the Chair would allow the Minister to answer that particular section?

No, there are too many and the progress we have made would not justify my acceding to that request.

Am I correct in assuming, if I want a written reply to Questions Nos. 125 and 126, that this is the appropriate way to ask, or do I go to the General Office?

Further to the statement the Chair has just made, how do I get a reply to Questions Nos. 125 and 126? Do I ask here or in the General Office?

It is somewhat different from the statement I made yesterday, because quite a number of Deputies approached me and told me they preferred to have it the other way. Therefore, unless written replies are asked for the questions will appear on the Order Paper on 5 April. I hope that is clear.
