§ Mr. J. J. DavidsonOn a point of Order. In reference to Questions 78 and No. 79, may I respectively point out to 567 you, Mr. Speaker, that my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke (Mr. E. Smith) and I placed those questions on the Order Paper a considerable time ago, and, at the request of the right hon. Gentleman the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence, we postponed our questions until, as he said, a suitable date? Is it not the practice, when hon. Members extend that courtesy to Ministers, that Ministers should have the questions placed in such manner that the hon. Members will receive a reply?
§ Mr. SpeakerI think the hon. Member will find that Minister's questions are put in regular order, according to the day of the week, and I am afraid I could not alter that.
