§ Sir W. DAVISONOn a point of Order. I understand the question of which I gave you notice is out of order, the matter not being under your control. May I ask you, Sir, as the representative 24 of the House of Commons and of all parties as a whole, whether there is any precedent for the expressed opinion of the House being Routed—
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe question I ruled out of order must not be put. I rather thought the hon. Gentleman was going to try to put the question I ruled out of order.
§ Sir W. DAVISONNo, Sir, I wish to know whether there is any precedent for action being taken within the Palace of Westminster affronting the expressed view of the House as a whole.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI informed the hon. Gentleman that the matter to which he referred in his question to me was a matter for the Refreshment Committee, a Committee of the House, and that I had no jurisdiction at all in the matter. I do not know what their rules or their precedents may be.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay I ask a question with regard to another matter, though I have not given you, Sir, notice? I thought it was going to be brought up again at the end of Questions and I was looking round for the hon. Member principally concerned. I refer to an incident—
§ Mr. SPEAKERI really must have notice of these matters. I have had experience of these matters being done without notice and not in the proper form. I must be informed beforehand, so that I may consider the matter.
