§ Mr. EdelmanOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I ask your guidance in connection with a Private Notice Question I sought to put this morning concerning a definite matter of the most urgent public importance?
At 9.58 this morning it was stated that the Stock Exchange had suspended dealings in Rootes' ordinary shares, and I sought to raise the matter over a general reference to the take-over by Messrs. Chrysler of a large proportion of Rootes' equities.
The matter was reported at 9.58 a.m., thus making it impossible for me to submit a Private Notice Question in time for today but, in view of the urgency of the matter, may I ask you whether I may return to it on Monday?
§ Mr. SpeakerIf the application is made on Monday, I will consider it on Monday. It does not arise now.
