§ Mr. SpeakerMay I make an appeal to Members in connection with the new Sessional Order relating to Questions, which was passed on Friday and came into operation today? The House having considered that, generally speaking, longer notice of Questions is desirable, I hope that hon. Members will only use the machinery for shorter notice when they really want an answer in a hurry, and, if they do have to use it, that they will help the clerks in the Table Office by marking all such Questions clearly with the date on which the answer is required and by sending them in as early as possible in the morning.
There is a danger of the clerks getting snowed under, and, if hon. Members would mark the Questions clearly, it would help the clerks a great deal.
