§ Mr. WilleyOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I apologise for raising my point of order rather late. but I was interested in the speech of my hon. Friend the Member for Wandsworth, Central (Mr. Thomas Cox) and I did not want to interrupt him.
I have received from the Vote Office a copy of the Hardman Report on the Dispersal of the Civil Service. It appears to be a savage rebuff to the hopes we had on the North-East coast. This matter has repeatedly been discussed in the House, and I ask whether the Government have been requested to make a statement to the House on the subject.
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. The right hon. Gentleman knows quite well that that is not a matter of order for the Chair.
