¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is no restriction under Standing Order 27(2) to limit the scope of questions—one cannot say this or that cannot be asked, including on judges’ transfers. We request the Government to answer. Do not try to limit us. Provide the answer; if unsatisfied, we will decide thereafter. No such restriction exists under the Standing Orders.
