HC Deb 25 February 1889 vol 333 cc268-9
MR. SEXTON

I request to ask you, Sir, a Question relating to a matter of privilege. I desire to know whether you can inform the House by what right or authority a part of this building reserved to the use of Members of this House is open to one Edward Caulfield Houston, a witness in a certain case; and whether steps can he taken to prevent Members of this House from being brought into contact with the authors of false and calumnious statements? I wish to know whether we cannot be protected from being exposed to the provocation of meeting this man in a part of the House reserved to the use of Members?

THE SPEAKER

I am not aware of the facts narrated by the hon. Gentleman.

MR. SEXTON

I will put a further question to-morrow.
