Purpose of command — are we following the right procedure? (5,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
point of order
'we following the right procedure?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'purpose of command' is the wordplay.
'purpose' becomes 'point' (I've seen this before).
'command' becomes 'order' (order is a kind of command).
'point'+'of'+'order'='POINT OF ORDER'
'are' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for point of order that I've seen before include "to get goods supplied, one imagines" , "Question raised about a meeting's procedure" , "Procedural query" , "Question as to whether the current proceedings are allowed" , "Issue raised during a parliamentary motion" .)
