We are now moving to priority questions. I am calling Question No. 6.

On a point of order, we are moving to priority questions eight minutes before the normal time. I assume Question Time will continue until 3.45 p.m.?

No, it will continue for 15 minutes from now.

The altered Standing Order stipulates that Question Time shall be from 2.30 p.m. to 3.45 p.m.

What it says, and this is how it has been interpreted, is that Question Time shall commence at 2.30 p.m. and shall conclude not later than 3.45 p.m.

That may be so. I have looked at the Standing Order and the interpretation is not very clear.

I know, but in cases like this somebody has to interpret Standing Orders.

My understanding was that Question Time would continue until 3.45 p.m.

No, that is not so. At least that is not my interpretation.

Perhaps we can have a look at it later?

Certainly. I am calling Question No. 6.
