HC Deb 08 December 1966 vol 737 cc1572-3
Sir Harmar Nicholls

Further to my earlier point of order, Mr. Speaker. Can you give further thought to the practice of answering orally Questions that are put down for Written Answer? The effect of this could be that if we wanted to write Written Questions similar to those on the Order Paper for oral answer, we could get away with supplementary questions when we do not have our proper place in the queue.

Mr. Speaker

I am grateful to the hon. Member for making the point so briefly when raising it during Question Time. I am aware of the possible danger of tacking Written Questions to Oral Questions for answer. If it became an abuse, I would stop it.
