Rulings from the Chair

Constituency questions

The SPEAKER (14:53): I have reviewed yesterday’s constituency questions. Previous rulings have stated that members should only ask one question for the constituency question, although on occasion two questions have been accepted when the member has been essentially restating the question during their contribution. Yesterday, however, the member for Polwarth asked multiple distinct questions during his constituency question, and in being consistent I therefore rule the member for Polwarth’s constituency question out of order.
