Ministerial Responsibility

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (16:38): A supplementary question arising out of the answer—

The PRESIDENT: It's going to be very hard to mount a supplementary.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I am going to listen to it though.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: So, the minister can confirm that he understands all the legislative powers and functions he has under all of the acts attributed to him?

The PRESIDENT: That's a new question which has already been answered; I am not going to allow it. Your next question.
