Mr TANNER (3:19 PM) —Mr Speaker, I have a question to you. During question time, in response to an opposition point of order, the Leader of the House stood up and said that as Leader of the House he had a right to comment on that point of order. Could you advise the House as to whether he has any such rights that are different from other members of the House, and if so what those rights are; and, secondly, if indeed such rights do exist, whether or not they extend to the Manager of Opposition Business.


Mr SPEAKER —I will review the Hansard and the comments made by the Leader of the House and the Chair. I recall the incident. I assumed that the Leader of the House was rising on a point order.
