HC Deb 02 June 1965 vol 713 cc1720-1
Mr. Rankin

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I have your permission to draw attention to a glaring injustice?

It will have been observed that my right hon. Friend the Lord President of the Council answers Questions at No. 35. Has it been observed that he has been able to answer on only one occasion during this Parliament? Many of us feel that this is unjust. Would it be possible for the appropriate Members on both Front Benches to consider elevating my right hon. Friend to Question No. 25, so that I might receive an answer to my Question?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman will realise that is not a matter for the Chair. What he has said has, no doubt, been heard. Whether or not it is appropriate to do what he suggests is not for me to say.
