HC Deb 28 March 1968 vol 761 c1731
Dr. Winstanley

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As the Answer to Question No. 54 for Written Answer concerning nurses' pay has just been given orally to the Press, may I ask whether the Minister of Health has sought leave to give that Answer to the House, and, if not, whether it would be in order if he did seek such leave?

Mr. Speaker

The factual answer is that the Minister of Health has not sought leave to answer the Question. If he had done so, he would have had the leave of Mr. Speaker and, I think, of the House.

Mr. William Hamilton

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. Since it was my Question, may I say that I have already received the Written Answer, about a quarter of an hour ago, and I understand that the Report is in the Vote Office.
