§ Mr. R. McNEILLOn a point of Order. I put down to-day a Question, No. 65, on a matter about which a good many Members feel interested. It was a question to the Foreign Office. I want to ask, as a matter of order, whether the Foreign Office, with which the matter is really concerned, is entitled to pass that question to the India Office, which, so far as I know, has very little to do with it; and if so, whether the Secretary of State for India ought not to he here to answer it; whether it is right that a question of that nature should be answered by my bon. Friend, a Junior Lord of the Treasury, who cannot be expected to have any personal knowledge of the subject, and whether it ought not to be dealt with by the office to which it is addressed?
Mr. SPEAKERThose are not points of Order for me. I do not know what particular part of the world the India Office is responsible for or what part the Foreign Office is responsible for. I cannot possibly say.
§ Mr. McNEILLMay I take this opportunity of giving notice to the Foreign Office that if I can get an opportunity I will raise this question in the Debate to-morrow?
