§ Sir Cooper RawsonOn a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. May I ask your advice about a Question I sent to the Table, which was turned down on the ground that it was fully answered on 5th June and on 19th June? It was not fully answered, and the dates were mixed up. All I wanted to get from the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs was an assurance that he would give me a copy of a communication sent by him in March, 1923, and a copy of a communication received in reply. I have been trying to fight this case for a year now and have met with all sorts of obstacles to a plain, straightforward question which requires only a straightforward reply. I have called attention to this matter on the Motion for the Adjournment of the House, and by all other legitimate means, and I new want to know what I can do next.
§ Mr. SpeakerThe hon. Member seems to have been unfortunate, but I think he 846 has had a rather good innings. I recollect the occasion when he raised the subject on the Motion for the Adjournment, and it hardly seems time again to broach the subject. The hon. Member had better wait a little time before he does so.
§ Sir C. RawsonI was interrupted then by the hon. Member for East Wolverhampton (Mr. Mander), who takes up a lot of time in this House, and who afterwards apologised to me. I cannot bring the matter up again. This man has been blind for 17 years, and it is about time that something was done. What can I do, Mr. Speaker? [Laughter.] This is no joke; I do not take up much of the time of the House.
§ Mr. SpeakerI am afraid I cannot help the hon. Member.
§ Sir C. RawsonWho can help me?
