Mr. Speaker

Order. I gather that something is wrong. We must have an explanation.

Mr. Lee

On a point of order. Was it not intimated to you, Mr. Speaker, that I requested your permission to answer Question No. 71?

Mr. Speaker

I apologise to the right hon. Gentleman. The message has not reached me. I am sure that the House will allow the right hon. Gentleman to Answer the Question.
