(2) If the Speaker is of the opinion that a question or any part of a question is or may be one which cannot be asked because it is prohibited under sub-rule (1), he shall, as soon as may be after the receipt of the notice of the question, forward to the Administrator a copy thereof and, unless the Administrator (whose decision in the matter shall be final) decides that the question may be put, it shall not be entered in the List of Business.
(3) Notwithstanding the fact that the Speaker has made no reference under sub-rule (2), if the Administrator, acting in his discretion, decides that any question or part of a question is one which cannot be asked because it is prohibited under sub-rule (1), he may communicate his decision (which shall be final) to the Speaker and on such communication, the question shall not be entered in the List of Business or, if it has been so entered, the Speaker shall decline to allow the question to be put.
(4) The Speaker shall disallow any supplementary question, if in his opinion, it infringes the foregoing provisions.
(5) If any doubt arises whether any question or any part of a question is or is not within the prohibition imposed by sub-rule (1), the administrator shall, acting in his discretion, decide the point and his decision shall be final.
