Ruling on a Priority Question

Summary

Kirk complained that a question had been ruled out of order, preventing him from asking follow-up questions. The Chair said both Deputies and the Chair were bound by the time limit and that the new procedure would improve Question Time.

On the priority questions, I submitted to your office yesterday a question which unfortunately was ruled out of order and I am now precluded from asking the supplementaries that would have compensated for that ruling.

The Deputy is bound by the time limit just as the Chair is bound in that respect also. He will find that the new procedure will improve Question Time.
