HC Deb 15 February 1961 vol 634 c1384
Mr. Brockway

On a point of order. Before we proceed to the Questions to the Lord Privy Seal, may I raise a matter of which I think you are aware, Mr. Speaker? I submitted a Question to the Lord Privy Seal for Oral answer. I understand that the Table Office recognises that to be the fact. Nevertheless, it appears as Question No. 5 in the Questions for Written Answer. I do not make any charge against the Table Office, but I am asking whether I shall have permission, in these circumstances, to put this Question among the Oral section.

Mr. Speaker

I owe the hon. Member a profound apology. I am very sorry. This is due to a printer's error. In view of the speed with which we have to do these things, I think that on the whole the House does not suffer greatly from these things. In the circumstances, I believe the best remedy I can offer the hon. Member is to call him for a supplementary question on another Question, which will help him out.

Forward to
