Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): I have a further supplementary for the Minister for Finance. It would be good if he would weigh into all these questions which are directed to him, because we have two completely—

The SPEAKER: Could we have a question?

Mr MARSHALL: Why is it that one minister wants to reveal his costings and the other one does not want to reveal his costings?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Hammond is called to order. Minister for Finance.

The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:27): I think that question is entirely out of order. I am not in a position to determine why one minister answers a question in one manner and another in another.
