HC Deb 19 May 1953 vol 515 cc1876-7
Mr. Dugdale

On a point of order. I rang up your office this morning, Mr. Speaker, to know if I could put down a Private Notice Question about the riots which took place in Nigeria, and I was informed that a Question had been put down by my hon. Friend the Member for Eton and Slough (Mr. Fenner Brockway). In those circumstances, naturally, I did not pursue the matter further, but it does not appear that there is any Private Notice Question today by my hon. Friend the Member for Eton and Slough, and I should like to know what the position is.

Mr. Speaker

As a matter of fact, the hon. Member for Eton and Slough (Mr. Fenner Brockway) had submitted a request for a Private Notice Question before the right hon. Gentleman the Member for West Bromwich (Mr. Dugdale) had done so, but there was actually on the Order Paper a Question in the name of the hon. Lady the Member for Flint, East (Mrs. White).

Mr. Dugdale

For today, Sir?

Mr. Speaker

No; it is on the Order Paper for tomorrow or the next day.
