HC Deb 11 July 1927 vol 208 cc1741-2
Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

May I ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any agreement has been reached with the Chinese authorities regarding the British Concession at Tientsin and, if not, whether any negotiations are at present in progress?

Mr. SPEAKER

There is a Question on the Paper to that effect in the name of the hon. Member, but he was not present to ask it.

Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

On a point of Order. That Question was not asked because three previous Questions stood in my name. Is is not perfectly in order to ask this Question now?

Mr. SPEAKER

No. I see the hon. Member had four Questions on the Paper. He is not entitled to put his fourth Question in this way. If this is important he should have taken one of the others off the Paper.
