The following question stood upon the Order Paper in the name of Mr. SULLIVAN:

To ask the Secretary for Mines if he is aware that the employers at Milnwood Colliery, Belshill, altered the hours for lowering the men on the back-shift without any consultation with the representatives of the men; whether the divisional inspector of mines was consulted in the matter; and what action, if any, has been taken by him?

Mr. SULLIVAN

May I point out, Sir, that I was waiting for you to call upon me to put Question 69?

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER

I called the hon. Member's name.

Mr. SULLIVAN

I was waiting to put the question.

Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER

I called the hon. Member's name, but I did not see him rise.
