HC Deb 23 February 1949 vol 461 cc1840-1

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

14. To ask the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, in consequence of what provision and of which treaty or agreement is the United States submarine "Dogfish" to spend a month with the destroyer flotilla of the British Home Fleet; and whether he is satisfied that the security of the anti-submarine detection devices in the Firth of Clyde will not be compromised by the presence there of this warship of a foreign power.

Major Guy Lloyd

On a point of Order. I should like your guidance, Mr. Speaker, on whether Question 14 on the Order Paper is in Order, with such a scurrilous and ignoble motive attached to it. Is it right for such a Question to be put down on the Order Paper?

Mr. Speaker

The Question has been cancelled, so it is not before the House. Therefore, I know nothing about it.
