§ Mr. SpeakerI shall now make my ruling on the complaint of privilege. I have considered the complaint of breach of privilege made yesterday by the right hon. Member for Bristol, South-East (Mr. Benn) and I am satisfied that it is a proper case for me to allow a motion relating to the complaint priority over the Orders of the Day.
§ The Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons (Mr. James Prior)In view of your ruling, Mr. Speaker, I beg to move,
That the matter of the complaint be referred to the Committee of Privileges.In view of the business to follow—it is a Private Members' day—I hope the House will decide that no further debate should take place at this stage.
§ Question put and agreed to.
