HC Deb 10 May 1967 vol 746 c1415

10.4 a.m.

Mr. Speaker

Mr. William Hamilton.

Mr. Iremonger

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Before the hon. Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton) catches your eye, may I raise a point of order with you? It arises out of the Sessional Order passed by this House directing the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis to keep the access to the House clear. This morning, I had to run one and a half miles to be in my place here because I was held up on the other side of Victoria Station.

The point on which I seek your help is whether you have any power or standing in the matter to see that the Sessional Order is enforced and, if not, if the House could be informed how far the Sessional Order applies; in other words whether it goes merely into Parliament square, or beyond where hon. Members may be delayed with still a half hour journey to the House.

Mr. Speaker

I think that the best plan is that I look into the point raised by the hon. Member for Ilford, North(Mr. Iremonger).
