HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 cc497-8
Mrs. Dunwoody

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I ask you to consider adjourning the Notice of Motion standing in the name of the hon. Member for Glasgow, Cathcart (Mr. Taylor)? The motion has been put down extremely late today, and it is a matter of considerable concern—

Mr. Speaker

I am afraid that I must tell the hon. Lady that I have no power to adjourn it. I must call it in due course.

Mrs. Dunwoody

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. I accept your ruling, of course, and I do not in any way question your judgment. But the composition of this Select Committee is a matter of enormous importance to every woman in the country—

Mr. Speaker

If the hon. Lady studies Standing Order No. 13 she will appreciate that I have to hear one side and then the other side and make my own judgment.
