HC Deb 28 April 1960 vol 622 c388
Mr. Speaker

Mr. Harold Wilson. Business question.

Mr. Grey

On a point of order. May I ask your advice Mr. Speaker? My hon. and learned Friend the Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) has put down Written Question No. 6, which appears on today's Order Paper. I assume that that Question will be answered today. How is it possible for hon. Members, on either side of the House, to obtain the Answer to that Question without having to wait until tomorrow morning until they read it in HANSARD or the daily papers?

Mr. Speaker

The answer is that it is not possible for hon. Members to obtain the Answer until the OFFICIAL REPORT is available to them.

Mr. Lipton

On a further point of order, Mr. Speaker. Are we not to have a statement from the Chancellor of the Exchequer?

Mr. Speaker

The time for a statement is after the business question, which I have called.
