Mr PRICE —Mr Speaker, I have two questions to you relating to question time yesterday. After the response of the Minister for Schools, Vocational Education and Training in answering a question, the Prime Minister rose in his place and asked that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper . However, a further question was allowed by the member for Capricornia. Can you look at the videotape of proceedings of question time and determine whether page 6311 of Hansard accurately reflects what actually occurred in question time.

My second question relates to page 6305 of Hansard and the question asked by the honourable member for Hinkler regarding pensioner entitlements. According to House of Representatives Practice, page 524 of Browning, questions should not be asked without notice reflecting questions on the Notice Paper. I draw your attention to questions No. 905 to the Treasurer, No. 907 to the Minister for Social Security and No. 908 to the Minister for Veterans' Affairs. Whilst I appreciate that this was not brought to your attention at the time, would you consider writing to the ministers in view of the breach of standing orders and requesting an early response to those questions on notice?

Mr SPEAKER —I thank the honourable member for Chifley for his questions. I will look at the video and examine standing orders and report back to either the House or you or both.
