§ 41. Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Lord President of the Council if he will seek to refer to the Services Committee the possibility of posting each day in the No Lobby, before the Question hour, a provisional list of Questions to be answered together.

§ Sir Knox CunninghamIs it not a fact that there is at present a provisional list which is circulated to Ministers? Would it not be a convenience for hon. Members on both sides of the House if an additional copy of the list were posted in the Lobby?
§ Mr. CrossmanWhen I saw the hon. and learned Gentleman's Question, I considered it very seriously. I think that, on balance, the answer is "No", because it is only an informal list, which may be changed at the last moment. But hon. Members should know that anyone interested can speak to the Second Clerk Assistant behind Mr. Speaker's Chair during Prayers or at the Table during Question hour. This information can, therefore, be obtained by hon. Members.
