§ Mr. RUPERT GWYNNERising on a point of Order, I would like to ask whether the observation of the hon. Member for Stoke (Mr. John Ward) "insolent swine," as applied to hon. Members of this-House, is within the limits of Parliamentary debate?
§ Mr. SPEAKERHon. Members will see that some of the personalities which pass between the two benches, especially those below the Gangway, do not reach my ears, and in some respects I am glad I cannot hear them. I would again repeat what I said yesterday, and I venture to make an appeal to hon. Members who sit in those respective seats not to carry on cross-firing over the floor of the House. I know there is great temptation to do so; but I would respectfully ask them to desist from that. It really makes debate in the proper sense of the word impossible; and. also, being at a distance, I am placed at a very great disadvantage in not being able to hear, and therefore in not being able to-adjudicate at the time upon an offending: word, from whichever side of the House it may come. I hope, after this, hon. Members will see the desirability of refraining as far as possible from these interjections.
