§ MR. THEOBALD (Essex, Romford)May I ask you, Mr. Speaker, would it not be better in future to postpone the Questions until 5 o'clock, as when they are now commenced the Front Bench is almost totally unoccupied?
§ * MR. SPEAKERI think the absence of Ministers and of hon. Members is accounted for by the fact that to-day, for the first time, we commenced the Questions at a quarter instead of half-past 3.
