On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I ask the Speaker to reflect on the importance for a democracy of having an Opposition. Given the procedures that we have, is it proper order to silence the Opposition in the middle of their question and move on rather than allow the question put thus far to be answered? Saying a simple "Sit down" and letting the Minister answer the question might have been better for openness and transparency. It would be appreciated if the Speaker could review that matter.

Thank you, Mr McGrath. Your comment is noted and will be suitably reviewed. We gave a degree of latitude, as you are fully aware.

Ms Bradshaw, do you want to make a comment?

I apologise, Deputy Speaker. I did not think that we would get to the last topical question.

Your apology is accepted. If you could find Mr Stewart anywhere to enable him to do that as well, that would be equally helpful

[Laughter.]

What are Members giggling about?

Before we return to questions on the Minister of Justice's oral statement, I advise the House that I have been notified that Mr Doug Beattie will not speak to his Adjournment debate on concerns around the road infrastructure leading up to Craigavon Area Hospital. In light of the amount of plenary business today, the Business Committee has agreed that the topic will be postponed until Tuesday 25 March.

Mr Chambers?

[Inaudible.]

Sorry. Since everybody else has indulged in raising a point of order, I thought that you would like to do so as well. Thank you, Mr Chambers.
