The hon. Lady has a point. No hon. Member has to disclose the source of his or her information. In fact, what such Members are doing is carrying out their duty to table parliamentary questions. It is therefore not necessary for any hon. Member to disclose any information regarding the source of a question, or the reason why it has been tabled. I expect the hon. Lady's question to be answered in a timely way.
