Members, yesterday, by way of point of order, the Hon Kieran McAnulty asked that I consider the Hansard of Question No. 7, to see if the answer was in accord with the requirements of the Standing Orders. I’ve done so, and find that some of the words used in the answer could be seen to breach the strictest application of Standing Order 396(2)(a) and (b). I remind all Ministers to be cognisant of Standing Order 396 in total.
