§ Sir M. DOCKRELLCan I raise a point of Order now, Mr. Speaker, in reference to Question No. 33? In consequence of the uproar, it was impossible to hear the answer. It is a very important question for the part of Ireland I represent, and I would certainly like to know what the answer is.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI am sorry the hon. Member did not hear the reply.
§ Sir M. DOCKRELLIt was impossible owing to the uproar, and I have as good hearing as the next man.
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member will see the reply in the OFFICIAL REPORT tomorrow.
§ Mr. HOGGEIn reference to what occurred earlier in the day regarding a question of mine, I understand that there 2101 was some dislocation of the work of the Clerks at the Table, and that that prevented notice reaching me that the question was not to be allowed.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI regret that the hon. Member was not told. It was owing to the absence, through illness, of some of the Clerks at the Table. The procedure is that whenever a question is handed in and not allowed, the Clerks at the Table inform an hon. Member. Owing entirely to the unfortunate incident I have mentioned, this was not done in this particular case.
