HC Deb 04 May 1972 vol 836 c610
Mr. Molloy

On a point of order. May I ask whether the Chairman of the Committee on the night before last reported to you, Mr. Speaker, the difficulties that some of our constituents were experiencing when trying to lobby hon. Members and express their views on the EEC? I understand that this matter was referred to you and that in due course you would make a statement thereon.

Mr. Speaker

I have certainly read what took place about that matter. It is a question which is constantly under review as to the best possible arrangements whereby constituents can come to see hon. Members. If any specific case is brought to my notice I shall look into it. My answer to the hon. Member is that I have read HANSARD for that day and am aware of what was happening.

Mr. Buchan

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. In five minutes' time this House will be going into Committee. May I ask you two points—

Mr. Speaker

I am afraid the hon. Member is putting his question on an utterly false premise. The House will not be going into Committee.
