HC Deb 08 May 1962 vol 659 cc210-1

The following Question stood upon the Order Paper:

35. Mr. RANDALL

To ask the Lord Privy Seal what was the response of Her Majesty's Government to the request of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for the immediate supply of 15,000 tents as a first measure to organise the orderly return of the Algerian refugees now in Morocco and Tunisia.

Mr. Speaker

Questions to the Prime Minister.

Mr. Awbery

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I ask your advice? I put down a Question yesterday about tents and the Minister replied: I expect, however, to be in a position to add to this statement when I reply to a further Question on this subject tomorrow."—[OFFICIAL REPORT, 7th May, 1962; Vol. 659, c. 11.] That meant today. As I was precluded from asking a further Question yesterday, may I ask a supplementary question today?

Mr. Speaker

Is the hon. Member referring to Question No. 34?

Mr. Awbery

No, Sir, to Question No. 35.

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Member for Gateshead, West (Mr. Randall) is not here to ask that Question.
