HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 cc959-60
Mr. McMaster

On a point of order Mr. Speaker—

Mr. Speaker

Will the hon. Member raise it later, please.

Mr. McMaster

The point of order arises out of Questions to the Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker. I did not raise it at the time in accordance with your earlier ruling, but when the Prime Minister was asked a question by the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition about a shooting in my constiuency yesterday, in the context of legally and illegally held arms his reference was incorrect—

Mr. Speaker

Order. The content of questions and answers is not a matter for the Chair. Mr. Robert Carr, statement.

Mr. McMaster

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. This shooting came from an automatic weapon, a Thompson sub-machine gun.

Mr. Speaker

Order. There are other ways in which the hon. Member can make his point. He cannot make it in a point of order to me.
