§ Mr. W. BaxterOn a point of order. You will know, Mr. Speaker, that very seldom do Scottish Questions come to the top of the list of Questions. On this occasion they did, and they were answered as far as Question No. 34. There was then what I would term an unwarranted intrusion of English Questions.
§ Mr. ChapmanRubbish.
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. Hon. Members must curb their nationalist sentiments and listen to a point of order.
§ Mr. BaxterMy hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Northfield (Mr. Chapman) does not know Scotland very well. It is a very important nation and there should be full liberty for Questions appertaining to it to be answered. I would like you, Mr. Speaker, to look into this matter and consider whether the difficulty can be obviated in future so that Scottish Questions come in their proper sequence.
§ Mr. RankinFurther to that point of order. I am a helpless victim of the occasion, but I have no association with England.
§ Mr. Emrys HughesFurther to that point of order. May I draw your attention to the fact, Mr. Speaker, that 18 Scottish Questions have not been answered and that that situation has been aggravated by the fact that eight Questions to the English Attorney-General have been brought into the middle of Scottish Questions? What remedy do we have?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe allocation of dates and places on the Order Paper for Questions is not a matter for Mr. Speaker. The Questions to the Lord President of the Council and the Questions to the Attorney-General are in their proper place, as fixed by the usual channels. I can understand the concern of Scottish Members, but it is a matter which they must take up with the Leader of the House, to see whether some rearrangement of the timetable can be made. I have no power to alter it.
