Point of Order

Margaret Jamieson very patiently agreed to postpone a point of order, which I shall take now.

I wish to raise a point of order relating to comments that were made today at question time. Will you rule on whether it is appropriate for a regional member to refer to an area within their region as their constituency?

The Presiding Officer:

The mandate for a regional member is, of course, specifically that. A regional member represents people across the full region and should not refer to a smaller part of the region as a constituency. I hope that those involved will employ that usage in future.
