§ Mr. ShinwellOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As I expected that a Private Notice Question might have been put down to the Prime Minister but that is apparently not the case, may I ask the Prime Minister a question on business?
§ Mr. SpeakerThere has been no notice of any such Question or of any statement on business. I am afraid that I could not allow it now. If the right hon. Member wishes to find out, I have no doubt that he will be informed if he asks, but I could not allow a question now, without notice.
§ Mr. ShinwellI merely wanted, in view of the growing tension in the Middle East, to ask the Prime Minister whether he intended to make a statement on the subject at a very early date.
§ Mr. SpeakerWe had better leave that for another occasion.
