HC Deb 08 February 1949 vol 461 cc165-6
Mr. C. S. Taylor

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. The Private Business and the Notices of Motion relating to Private Business are not now circulated with the Order Paper. For the convenience of hon. Members in knowing what Private Business is to be taken, could not instructions be given to the Vote Office to circulate the Private Business and Notices of Motion with the Order Paper daily?

Mr. Speaker

I will bear that request in mind, but I am bound to point out that this was considered by the Committee and turned down. However, I will bear in mind what the hon. Member has said.

Mr. Taylor

Thank you very much indeed, Mr. Speaker, but I think that at that time there was a great shortage of paper. If this information could now be circulated with the Questions daily, it would be of great assistance to hon. Members.

Captain John Crowder

I have been told at the Vote Office, Mr. Speaker, that if hon. Members ask for these Papers they can have them. I asked for them and I received them for some time. Then the Vote Office stopped sending them, but they are now sending them again.

Mr. Speaker

As I said, I will look into the matter. I am not au fait with it at the moment, but it has been raised and I will consider it.
