HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 c1232
Mr. Kaufman

On a point of order. I rise to ask, Mr. Speaker, if there is any protection that can be afforded to Members of this House against the relentless volume of propaganda which is being showered upon us by those who oppose the siting of an airport at Cublington. The propaganda is couched in terms which demand that Members of the House make speeches in the House although the propagandists may not know where hon. Members stand on the issue. This is verging on an abuse of the House and is tending to alienate hon. Members who have not yet taken a decision on this issue. I therefore ask what protection there can be for hon. Members against this propaganda.

Mr. Speaker

I hear what the hon. Member has to say. I am afraid that nothing can arise for the Chair upon his point of order. I have no control at all over what is sent to hon. Members for their information or guidance.
