Mr Chairman, I rise on a point of order. I question whether it is indeed worth making statements to the House. The purpose of statements to the House is for members to rise on current issues, ventilate them and get a response from the executive. As I look around the horseshoe, I find exactly two Ministers, two members of the executive, here. What is the point of members' statements when the members of the executive treat this House with contempt? The benches are empty. What is the point of making statements to the House? I ask you to rule on that, Mr Chairman.
