I cannot allow the time in respect of Priority Questions to be eroded by questions of this kind. It is not good enough.

It is a fundamental point of order.

Quickly, Deputy.

There is a question on the Order Paper in my name listed for priority and it is altered from the question which I submitted. I verified that with the General Office and they confirmed that there is a sentence missing from the question I submitted.

These are questions which could be cleared up if the Deputies concerned saw fit to communicate with my office and avoided eroding precious time for questions nominated for priority.

It came to my attention just prior to Question Time.
