§ Lieut.-Commander FLETCHERMay I ask why a question addressed by me to the Secretary of State for the Colonies has been removed from the Order Paper? It has been on the Order Paper for a week.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI understand that on the particular occasion to which the hon. and gallant Member refers he had four questions on the Order Paper. The fourth question should have been unstarred.
§ Lieut.-Commander FLETCHERThe fourth question was removed from the Paper by me yesterday. If a question has to be removed, is it not customary to consult the Member as to which of the questions he wishes to be removed?
§ Mr. SPEAKERUsually it is the fourth question which is removed.
