Major C. S. Taylor (Eastbourne)

May I ask for your Ruling, Mr. Speaker, as to whether I could speak, I got up and hoped to catch your eye on the report of the Army Estimates but I was not fortunate to do so because, with great respect, you were not looking at me. Am I too late?

Mr. Speaker

Yes, it is too late.
