HC Deb 10 December 1973 vol 866 c44
Mr. Cormaek

I beg to ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House, under Standing Order No. 9, for the purpose of discussing a specific and important matter that should have urgent consideration; namely, the problems arising from the current shortage of fuel". The events of last weekend have served to add still further to the acute concern felt throughout the country on this front. I believe that this makes it desirable that the latest information should be fully presented to and debated in the House. This is certainly an urgent matter. It is most certainly specific, and it is of overwhelming public importance. I therefore hope that you, Mr. Speaker, will feel able to grant my request.

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Member gave me notice that he would make this application. I am afraid that the answer is "No".
