The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:25): I have a supplementary question arising out of the minister's answer. Does the minister concede that she is either incompetent or negligent if she cannot indicate to this house whether or not she has signed one of these deeds of settlement? She would have had to sign the deed of settlement if one has been completed at this stage, so does she accept that she is either incompetent and/or negligent in her responsibilities as a minister if she cannot at least answer that question?

The PRESIDENT: With all due respect, the Hon. Mr Lucas, the minister has said that she will bring back a full and detailed response, so I think that is more important.
