QUESTIONS TO MINISTERS. (Hansard, 24 April 1929)

HC Deb 24 April 1929 vol 227 c879 879

§ Mr. SPEAKER
Mr. Compton.

§ Mr. MARDY JONES
On a point of Order. Where are all the Government Members?

§ Mr. SPEAKER
The hon. Member must remember that we are now going over questions for the second time.

§ Mr. JONES
There are only 46 questions down, and is it not reasonable to assume that Ministers should be here to answer them?

§ Mr. SPEAKER
That is merely a matter of opinion. There is no obligation upon them except when the question is called for the first time.
