§ The following Question stood upon the Order Paper:
§ 35. Mr. SWINGLERTo ask the Minister of Defence, if he will state the percentages of the national Budget expenditure and national gross product, respectively, devoted to defence in each of the last twelve years.
§ Mr. Dudley WilliamsOn a point of order. This Question and Question No. 36, I believe, are of particular interest to half the party opposite. Would I be in order in asking whether the hon. Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Mr. Swingler) and the hon. Member for Merthyr Tydvil (Mr. S. O. Davies), who are supposed to put the Questions, have been warned off by the Leader of the Opposition?
§ Mr. SpeakerMy answer to the hon. Member's question is, "No, it would not be in order."
