The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (15:37): My question again is to the Premier. With whom did the Premier discuss the Deputy Premier's potential resignation?

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order: standing order 97 rules out that frivolous guess.

The SPEAKER: Standing order 97 contemplates that in putting a question a member may not offer argument or opinion, nor may a member offer any facts except by leave of the house and only so far as is necessary to explain the question.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: When the member opposite said, 'With whom did the Premier,' etc., it falls in that category.

The SPEAKER: I will hear the member for Lee on the point of order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: The Premier did say in his previous response that he has lots of discussions with his colleagues. We just want to know with whom he had this discussion.

The SPEAKER: It's a matter of fine judgement. I'm going to allow the question. The Premier, I'm sure, has quite some scope to provide an answer.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:38): Thank you for that scope, but I will just refer the honourable member to my previous answer.
