HC Deb 09 February 1926 vol 191 c847
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

I should like to ask your guidance and assistance, Mr. Speaker, if possible, as to when Members of the House may have an opportunity of receiving oral replies to questions submitted to the Postmaster-General, since there appears to be little or no opportunity according to present arrangements?

Mr. SPEAKER

That is a matter which is not comprised within the duties of Mr. Speaker. It is a matter of arrangement with the Government, to suit the convenience of Members. I can only ask Members not to judge, by the opening days of the Session, as to how things will work out later on. After a Recess, there is, naturally, an extra desire for information, which may not be sustained for a prolonged period. If, however, the hon. Member will address himself to the representative of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, I am sure his request will be considered.
