HC Deb 25 February 1901 vol 89 cc988-9
MR. GEORGE WHITELEY (Yorkshire, W.R., Pudsey)

asked the Speaker if in view of the fact that a question of which he had given notice appeared in the Papers as a notice of motion, he would be allowed to put the question.

* MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member handed in a question asking if a certain Minister would grant a Return in regard to agricultural rates. In the question he set forth the Return asked for in full, and when a question is handed in in that way it is usually treated as a notice of motion for a Return. Of course there will be no objection to the hon. Member putting a question at the end of the other questions as to whether the Minister will grant the Return.
