§ Mr. Bruce-GardyneOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. It may not have escaped your notice from reports in this morning's Press that the Secretary of State for Industry was to make a further statement about Court Line Ltd. Would it be possible to seek through you, Mr. Speaker, an assurance that, since no statement is being made on this subject, the right hon. Gentleman will not seek to shelter behind a written answer to my Written Question No. 7 which is on today's Order Paper and by dealing with the matter in that way avoid the opportunity of being cross-questioned by the House?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe hon. Gentleman knows that that is not a matter for the Chair, but no doubt what he said will be noted.
