HC Deb 14 March 1978 vol 946 c221

Later—

Mr. Marten

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. You will have noticed that in the last few weeks we have reached only Question No. Q2 in the Prime Minister's Question Time. Will you advise us how hon. Members with Questions slightly later on the Order Paper, such as Questions Nos. Q3, Q4 and Q5, could manage to get in?

Mr. Speaker

I have advice, but I had better not give it. The hon. Gentleman will have noticed that the first four Questions were in the same form, and it was only a matter whether hon. Members would get in supplementary questions. There is a wide interest in these opening Questions, and if fewer hon. Members jumped to their feet, we should move on more quickly.

Mr. Cormack

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Is there any significance in the fact that on today's Order Paper the Prime Minister is described as "the Primate Minister"?

Mr. Speaker

I am a Nonconformist myself.
