HC Deb 15 June 1931 vol 253 c1440
Mr. HANNON (by Private Notice)

asked the Minister of Health whether he can make any statement regarding the disastrous storm which visited certain parts of Birmingham yesterday afternoon and what measures have been taken for the immediate relief of the homeless and suffering?

Mr. SPEAKER

Mr. Baldwin.

Mr. HANNON

On a point of Order. I had a copy of this question sent to the Minister of Health at the same time that I communicated it to you, Mr. Speaker, and surely the Minister of Health ought to be here to answer a question of this importance.

HON. MEMBERS

Resign!

Mr. SPEAKER

I think the absence of the Minister must be due to an oversight.
