§ 47. Sir FRANK MEYERasked the Prime Minister whether, with a view to increasing the time available to Members for debate, he will consider the advisability of recommending a Standing Order of the House whereby Members who have put down Questions for oral reply, and who are not present when their names are called from the Chair, shall not be granted a second opportunity, cither in person or by deputy, of putting their Questions on that day?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo, Sir. I do not propose to recommend any alteration in the practice at present in force as regards questions on the Paper for oral reply.
