Points of Order — Oral Questions—Questions Ruled Out of Order

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I observed earlier today when Mr Seymour was given the opportunity to ask questions—and I think there were two or three questions in rapid repeat—that each time those questions were out of order by you nodding in silence, it concerned me that whilst people in the House knew that those questions were not in order, I don’t know whether the record would state that those questions were not in order, because by you nodding to Mr Seymour that they were not in order, my ministerial colleague was unable to answer. My concern there is that if the record does not record that those questions were not in order, it may appear that we were not answering the questions.

I’m quite sure that the record will be clear.
