Hon members, I wish to acknowledge the presence in the gallery of Dr Ghiath Barakat, minister of higher education in the Syrian Arab Republic, and his delegation. [Applause.] Welcome to our Parliament, hon minister and your delegation!
The first item on the Order Paper is Questions addressed to the President. Let me remind members that they may press the buttons on their desks if they wish to ask a supplementary question. There will only be four supplementary questions, and that includes the supplementary question of the person who raised the question.
