HC Deb 15 July 1970 vol 803 cc1533-4
Mr. Wellbeloved

On a point of order. May I have your advice, Mr. Speaker? You will be aware that today there have been allegations in the Press and on the radio by a well-known firm of jobbers in the City concerning a possible leak yesterday of the trade figures. As many citizens in the country will be considering this as the first major manifestation of a return to normal Conservative financial morality, have you had a request from the President of the Board of Trade to make a statement to the House this afternoon?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Member should not mix points of order with political thrusts. I have had no such request. There will be a Business Question tomorrow and the hon. Member will have the opportunity to raise the matter then.
