HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 c2346

The following Question stood upon the Order Paper in the name of Mr. HENDERSON STEWART:

33. To ask the Minister of Fuel and Power why he refused the request of the County Council of Fife for a copy of the report of the recent inquiry into the Gas Order promoted by Kirkcaldy Corporation; and if, in view of the direct interest of the Fife County Council in this matter, he will cause a copy of the report to be sent to the council forthwith.

Mr. Gallacher

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. Might I say that the Fife County Council approached the hon. Member for East Fife (Mr. Stewart) and the hon. Member for West Fife, and as the hon. Member for East Fife is not here, could you not stretch a point and allow the Question to be answered?

Mr. Speaker

It can be asked only by the hon. Member who put it down.
