Chapter 19 - Relations with the executive government
Additional
responses to questions without notice
It is established practice for ministers at the end of question time to
make additional responses to questions without notice. They then provide
orally, or by incorporation in Hansard, information which they were unable to
provide at the time the question was asked. Supplementary questions are not
permitted in relation to such answers. (See ruling of Deputy President West,
21/10/1999, J.1985.)
