The Speaker addressed a procedural irregularity, acknowledging that a particular matter fell outside standard parliamentary practice. While permitting the Minister of Fisheries to respond to the question raised by the Hon. Member, the Speaker explicitly stipulated that this allowance should not be regarded as establishing a precedent or becoming an accepted parliamentary practice.
Mr. Speaker, this is not the usual Parliamentary practice. However, Hon. Member, for the question you raise, the Minister of Fisheries may answer, without creating a precedent. Let this not be taken as a precedent or as a practice.
