The Linear Terps Act

[Ian Plätschisch]

WHEREAS Members of the Ziu often have multiple follow-up questions for a Minister on a certain topic, and

WHEREAS Since MZs can already ask however many Terps they want, there is no reason for placing a limit on the number of follow-up questions for a particular Terp, and

WHEREAS It would be more convenient for everyone if all of the questions about a topic could be asked and answered in the same thread


THEREFORE H.2.6, which currently reads:

2.6. The Minister must answer the question in the same thread or its equivalent as the original question and the questioner may ask one (1) supplementary question, in which the provisions of H.2 apply, with the seven days starting from the date the supplementary question is asked.

is hereby amended to read:

2.6. The Minister must answer the question in the same thread or its equivalent as the original question and the questioner may ask a reasonable number of supplementary questions (as determined by the presiding officer), in which the provisions of H.2 apply, with the seven days starting from the date each supplementary question is asked.

I am radically neutral as to the substantive content of this proposal, but I feel it is ridiculous that matters like this should be part of Statue Law at all.

I am interested in a reform which would take this question out of El Lexhátx altogether and put it in the Standing Orders of the two Houses of the Ziu.

I am interested in that too

That project may have to wait until OrgLaw reform is done.

I'd love to help out with that, especially in the greater context of my personal project of wanting more accountability through PMQs, Opposition leader, etc.
