Truly, I was not physically here. I was attending other Government responsibilities. It is recorded in the HANSARD that this Question was dropped by the Deputy Speaker. It is supposed to take a long time to come back to the House. We thought, because of goodwill and good faith, we are ready to answer it. But when we are given a short notice and we are attending Government business, then it is a problem. I am more than willing to answer the Question---"}
