HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 cc406-7 406

§ The following Questions stood upon the Order Paper:

§ 25. Mr. JOHN FRASER
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the current level of starts in local authority house building.

§ 9. Mr. SKINNER
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the number of houses built in the 407 public sector in 1971; and how it compares with each of the previous six years.

§ Mr. Amery
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I draw the attention of hon. Members to the fact that the failure of the hon. Member for Norwood (Mr. John Fraser) and the hon. Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner) to put their Questions on local authority house building levels has deprived the House of interesting and encouraging information?

§ Mr. Speaker
That is not a matter of order.

§ Mr. Kaufman
On a point of order Mr. Speaker. That being so, would it be possible for the right hon. Gentleman to answer the Questions after Question Time?

§ Mr. Speaker
That is not a matter for me.
