"Mr Fitzsimons, the House has every respect for you, but the primary duty of a Member – especially those of us who have been here for many years – is to read the Rules of Procedure. There is an order of questions. You will understand that I have been conducting Question Time now for a year and a half, and out of duty I have had to read this part of the Rules. Each Commissioner answers for 20 minutes. Your question is No 39. Nos 37 and 38 did not receive an answer either in accordance with the Rules, and their authors were also present. There is not going to be debate on this now, I assure you, because it would prevent Members from being able to ask their questions. So in accordance with the Rules, Annex II, “Answers to questions”, paragraph 11: “Questions that remain unanswered for lack of time shall be answered in writing.” That is what I have done, and I am applying the same rule to you as to everybody else.
In other words, you are being accorded total and absolute respect. If you have anything else to add, please do so in writing. Mr Tannock, who is requesting a point of order, asked a question that was not relevant, because it was not supplementary. This is the view of the presidency of this sitting and I do not intend to discuss it further."@en1
