HC Deb 26 May 1936 vol 312 c1836
Sir P. HANNON

On a point of Order. May I ask you, Mr. Speaker, whether you would be so kind as to suggest to hon. Members of this House the possibility of a limitation of the number of supplementary questions during the Question Hour? To-day there are 94 questions on the Order Paper, and fewer than 70 have been reached. I submit to you that some limit should be placed on the number of supplementary questions.

Mr. STEPHEN

Might I be allowed to point out to you, Sir, that the hon. Member who has raised this question is one of those who have put supplementary questions to-day?

Mr. GALLACHER

Might there not be fewer unseemly interruptions when supplementary questions are asked?

Mr. N. MACLEAN

May I ask, Mr. Speaker, whether this point of Order is not a reflection on your judgment?

Mr. SPEAKER

I make no complaint about that.
