Mr. Gallacher

I should like to ask the Lord President a question on a very important matter. Might I ask him whether, in view of the peculiar changes taking place in policies and parties in this House, he would not next week provide a day for clearing the rubbish off the Opposition Front Bench and providing that Bench for the new independent Labour group as a real Opposition?
