HC Deb 17 November 1971 vol 826 c421
Mr. Jeffrey Archer

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I have Question No. 16 on the Paper today. I was told at 2.35 this afternoon that it would be coupled with Question No. 1. By that time it had been passed by.

Mr. William Hamilton

Where was the hon. Member?

Mr. Archer

I was taking a constituent to the Gallery. I wonder, Mr. Speaker, whether it is possible to ask Question No. 16 now?

Mr. Speaker

Certainly not. It is not a matter for the Chair. The hon. Member may make representations about this to the Minister, but it is not a matter for me.
