HC Deb 03 March 1977 vol 927 c612
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. You will recall that during Question Time you ruled out of order a supplementary question of mine to Question No. 8 to the Home Secretary, referring to his meeting the Police Federation. However, you allowed a supplementary question on the death penalty to Question No. 12 about vandalism, and a question about a visit to Liverpool on a Question on the Isle of Wight. With all due respect, I submit that the question which I asked about the activities and morale of the police force in Lancashire, which I know my right hon. Friend wishes to answer, was in order. Could I ask you as a courtesy to allow my right hon. Friend to answer that question?

Mr. Speaker

I will certainly not allow him to do so at this stage of our proceedings, as we are about to move on to the Business Question. If the hon. Gentleman disagrees with my judgment he knows what to do.
