§ Mr. Harold WilsonOn a point of order. In the second of the points of order put from the opposite side of the House during Questions—a practice which the Chair in recent years has tried to have postponed until after 3.30—the question was raised about Front Bench questions. In the light of that and in the light of your reply, whether it was an official Ruling I was not clear, would you arrange for account to be made of the number of questions put from this Bench on various occasions between 1964 and 1970 when, for example, the Prime Minister, then Leader of the Opposition, sometimes got up four or five times during questions, together with other of his right hon. Friends? Would you give an assurance that there will be no change in the practice of the House now that there has been a change of Government?
§ Mr. SpeakerIn answer to that point of order, I can say that I have spent a certain amount of time studying the records and they are not at all conclusive.
