§ Mr. GallacherOn a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. Last week I put a Question to the Home Secretary which was transferred to the Attorney-General with no possible hope of it being reached for oral answer. It was postponed until this week, and the Attorney-General is now here, but there is still no chance of it being reached. Would the Attorney-General care to answer it now, or can you advise me, Sir, as to when I am likely to get it answered?
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell)Of course, Mr. Speaker, I have no control over the time when Questions should come on, but in former days Questions which were put down to me to be answered on Wednesday were usually reached. It may be due to the increase in the number of Questions, but there have been occasions lately when, on the day that I have such priority as is given to me, my Questions have not been reached.
§ Mr. GallacherI will try again next week.
§ Mr. SpeakerI advise the hon. Member to keep on trying.
