QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Yes. The manager is correct. The question was very specific, so, if the minister doesn't have any more information, he won't be able to fill the whole time by talking about other topics.

He's going to have to be directly relevant to the question. He was asked a specific question. I can't demand the minister deliver what the manager requests, but I can make sure he's being directly relevant, not talking about any other policy than the specific one mentioned in the question.
