HC Deb 13 July 1979 vol 970 c890
Mr. Cryer

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As the Leader of the House is with us, would it be in order for him to give us some information about the lack of parliamentary papers? Hansard—which is a very important item—has not been available for many weeks, the longest period for the past five years. As the Conservatives claim to be able to handle industrial relations, it is a continuing indictment of their policies that they are not able to make some arrangement with the unions to settle the dispute. It is reasonable that we should know what efforts they are making to resolve the dispute and produce Hansard and other documents that we need for the proper conduct of the House of Commons.

Mr. Speaker

I have had no request that a statement be made.
