§ MR. AUSTIN TAYLOR (Liverpool, East Toxteth)as a matter of the personal explanation complained that a Question of his, which he handed in at the Table on the 85 previous day, had been rendered absolutely incoherent by alteration, and asked whether hon. Members should not have the opportunity of seeing the revised edition of their Questions before they were printed on the Paper.
§ *MR. SPEAKERsaid that a few days before he had stated the general principle that it was the duty of the Clerk at the Table to give notice of alterations not merely verbal, but sometimes, with perhaps a hundred Questions coming in in a day, mistakes might occur. He would make further inquiry into this matter, but he could assure the hon. Member that mistakes of the kind he complained of, though occasionally inevitable, were in no way intentional.
