HC Deb 21 June 1982 vol 26 c21
Mr. Tam Dalyell (West Lothian)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. With his characteristic courtesy, the Leader of the House has sat through Question Time. Perhaps I might raise a matter of which I have given him notice. Is it not a matter for parliamentary incredulity that no statement has been forthcoming on a major event—

Mr. Speaker

Order. The hon. Member knows better than that. He knows that that is not a point of order.

Mr. Speaker

Order. We cannot argue now about the fact that I have not received a request for a statement. That is a matter of fact and not something upon which I must rule. I have received no request.
