Parliamentary Procedure

Answers to Questions

Mr WILLIAMS: Mr Speaker, I am seeking a point of clarification. I have just been handed by one of the attendants an answer to a question that I asked on 18 June this year of the Minister for Health. I have just been handed this today, on 2 December, but it is signed by the Minister for Health in September 2015. I am wondering whether there is some delay either in the minister's office or in the parliament.

The SPEAKER: My understanding is, from my time as a minister, that all answers to questions on notice had to go to cabinet before they come to the parliament.
