§ Mr. Raphael TuckOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. In the past, if Ministers have wished to bracket Questions together for answer, it has always been the custom to inform hon. Members of their intention so to do. That practice seems to have been discontinued, with unfortunate consequences on some occasions. For example, I know that this afternoon one hon. Member came in late without knowledge that his Question was bracketed with another and so lost a chance to ask a supplementary question. I wonder, Mr. Speaker, whether you would see that the practice is now resumed.
§ Mr. SpeakerI think that the courtesy should be followed. I have no doubt that what has been said will be read in Hansard by those concerned, and that the Lord President has heard the request which the hon. Gentleman has put to me.
