§ Captain PrescottI wish, Mr. Speaker, to make a correction in the OFFICIAL REPORT. Yesterday I put a supplementary question to the President of the Board of Trade which was reported as:
… does he think that the Report on the Cotton Industry is adequate in that connection? "—[OFFICIAL REPORT, 10th October, 1944; Vol. 403, c. 1555.]This should have read:… does he think that his statement on the Report on the Cotton Industry is adequate in that connection?As the matter is one of some importance, and my supplementary question was considerably altered by the omission, may I ask that the correction should be made?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe Official Reporter will have noticed the correction. Listening to what the hon. and gallant Member has just said, I am inclined to think that his supplementary question was out of Order, because he was asking for an opinion and not for a statement of fact.
