§ Mr. David Winnick (Walsall, North)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. On previous occasions I have complained that the House appears to be the last place where information is given. Yesterday the Secretary of State for Trade made some quite extraordinary and frank admissions about changes in Government policy. If the House is not to be treated with contempt, a Minister, or one of his ministerial colleagues, should make a statement about such important matters. Why should such statements be made simply on television? Why should not Ministers come to the House and say what is intended—
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. I have given the hon. Gentleman a good run. We are all aware that right hon. and hon. Members are asked questions on television. If they are unwise, they answer them.
