HC Deb 31 March 1926 vol 193 c2052
Captain GEE

I desire to ask your guidance, Mr. Speaker on a point that has just been raised for the second or third time in the last three months in this House. I refer to the last statement by the right hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary, when he said that he had no right to make any statement about a man whose ease wassub judice. I desire to ask you whether under the Rules you can prevent any Member of this House raising a case that issub judice or whether you can only advise on a point of good order and good taste.

Mr. SPEAKER

I have not any power to prevent a question in regard to a case which issub judice. All that I can do is to suggest that it is not desirable, while a matter is before the Courts, that it should he dealt with by Debate in the House.
