    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Members of the Front Bench were sworn-in in broad daylight. That stands more legal than a letter of appointment from the Head of the Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet. When it comes to the terms of reference, every Minister and Assistant Minister gets his or her own terms of reference from his or her Ministry. Division of labour within a Ministry is within the Ministry's internal domain. This is not the first time an Assistant Minister is answering a Question. In the last two 1084 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 10, 2008 months, Assistant Ministers have been answering Questions. So, this House should not be turned into some sort of a chess game, where you stand up and ask a Question and no forthcoming answers. Two months ago, Questions were being answered efficiently and diligently by Members of the Front Bench. Why is it that today, somebody is raising the question of a letter of appointment and ignoring the swearing-in, which was done publicly?"
