Earl of DalkeithOn a point of order. In view of the relevance of Question No. 65 to the Minister's statement on the Middle East, may we have an answer to it now?
§ Mr. SpeakerI have had no request from the Minister to answer the noble Lord's Question.
§ Mr. Ian LloydFurther to that point of order. I have on today's Order Paper Questions Nos. 48 and 49 to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. I received a letter from the Treasury on Friday saying that these Questions would be answered today.
§ Mr. SpeakerSuch information has not reached the Chair.
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. I can do nothing about it. If the hon. Gentleman's Questions are not answered orally today, he will no doubt get a Written Answer.
