HC Deb 13 May 1924 vol 173 c1151
Mr. W. THORNE

May I ask you a personal question, Sir?

Mr. SPEAKER

Certainly.

Mr. THORNE

I wish to know if you have any powers under the Standing Order, seeing that such a great deal of time is taken up with supplementary questions, of securing that Members shall have the full time which is supposed to be allowed for answers to questions?

Mr. SPEAKER

I have no such power. The time for questions is fixed.
