§ Dame Irene WardOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. It was arranged that those who wished to have them could have 'flu injections on Wednesday. May I ask why it was that without any prior notification the firm concerned or whoever was responsible for the arrangements to give the injections at ten minutes past eleven on Wednesday morning telephoned to say that the injections would not be given until the following Monday? This was very inconvenient. It do not know about the rest of the House, but it happened to very inconvenient for me.
If people are kind enough to make this arrangement, or if they are remunerated for doing so, and it is published in The Whip inviting hon. Members to turn up for their injections between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., it does not seem right that the firm should be allowed to telephone at ten minutes past eleven and put off the arrangement until the following Monday. I am not involved myself, but I should be annoyed if I were to get 'flu and be unable to take part in the debate on shipbuilding next Tuesday.
§ Mr. SpeakerWithout accepting any responsibility, may I express my regret to the hon. Lady and hope that she will not contract 'flu. I shall go into the matter and see whether there is anything that I can do about it.
