§ Q5. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Prime Minister when the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee last met.
§ The Prime MinisterOn 26th November.
§ Mr. HughesDid the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee, on this occasion, scrutinise the case of the well-known footballer who was sent to the House of Lords, presumably, to strengthen the House of Lords Rugby football team? Does not the right hon. Gentleman think that it is an abuse of the political honours system to use the House of Lords in order to transfer someone there from this place in order to provide a safe seat for somebody from the other place who wants to come here?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe second part of that supplementary question is in order. The first part is not.
§ The Prime MinisterThe Question was a very simple one, asking when the Political Honours Scrutiny Committee last met. I have answered it. There is nothing I can add.
