HC Deb 23 June 1924 vol 175 cc37-8

The following question stood on the Order Paper in the name of Mr. BLACK:

74. To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet had an opportunity of discussing with the Governor of the Gold Coast Colony the reasons for the regulation, of employment ordinance; whether the Governor of that Colony shares the view of the Secretary of State that this ordinance embodies rules of a stringent character; and whether he is prepared now to allow this ordinance?

Mr. W. THORNE

Before this question be asked, Mr. Speaker, may I ask what are the penalties involved in a Member putting down five questions, when he is allowed only three?

Mr. SPEAKER

The "penalty" is that the last two are not called.
