HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 c233
Mr. Dubs

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. This afternoon the House is to debate immigration. Is it in order that such an important debate takes place when the Government are to make two ministerial statements? That will reduce the opportunity for the House to discuss immigration problems.

Mr. Speaker

As the House will have expected, a large number of hon. Members have indicated that they hope to speak on immigration. Therefore, I hope to have the co-operation of the House in limiting the question period on the statements.
