§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL called the Speaker's attention to the fact that four of the Questions on the Paper addressed to the Prime Minister—three of them relating to Redistribution—had not been asked or answered, and asked whether this was not an abuse of the spirit of the undertaking which was given when the new rules of procedure were adopted, that Questions addressed to the Pr me Minister should be placed in such a posit on on the Paper that they would be reached before five minutes to three o'clock.
§ MR. SPEAKERThe hon. Member seems to suggest that the Prime Minister has evaded answering the Questions to which he alludes.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLYes, I do.
§ *MR. SPEAKERThat is not so, for the Questions had not been reached before five minutes to three o'clock, owing probably to the fact that no fewer than twenty-five supplementary Questions have been asked.
