Likewise, a Member of Parliament is also out of order if he fails to ask a Question. Ordinarily, one would expect the Chair to employ certain sanctions against Ministers. Even the sanctions that are employed by the Chair have their limitations in line with the Standing Orders. I get the feeling that Ministers would be too glad to be told that they cannot transact any business; they then will run away from the House because that is what they do not want to do. So, I will not give him that pleasure; this Question will be listed on the Order Paper tomorrow afternoon."}
