§ Mr. SpeakerBefore I call the hon. Member for Preston, South (Mr. Thorne) for his Standing Order No. 9 application, may I remind hon. Members, as there are far more here than at the beginning of Questions, that I made an important statement today about open questions addressed to Ministers other than the Prime Minister. It is in the interests of hon. Members that when they can get Hansard, they read what I said.
