HC Deb 03 February 1881 vol 258 c67
MR. HEALY

asked the Speaker, Whether it was not usual for a Member to be communicated with when a Question which had been given in to the Clerk at the Table did not appear on the Paper, or when it was altered? His reason for asking was that a Question which he wished to put to the Chief Secretary for Ireland did not appear on the Paper.

MR. SPEAKER

I understand that the terms of the Question to which the hon. Member refers were brought up to the Table yesterday about a quarter of an hour before the House rose. Sufficient time has not been given for determining whether the Question is regular; and I am bound to say, on looking at the Question, that it will require some consideration before it is submitted to the House.
