§ Mr. Bob Cryer (Keighley)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Will you confirm that, if the Government approach you, you will be prepared to provide time tonight for a statement about the farm price review? You will have heard during Prime Minister's Question Time about an unprecedented move to ignore the Government's veto and to allow the farm price review to be implemented. The Government must have the opportunity to make a statement about this urgent matter as soon as possible. I should like your confirmation, Mr. Speaker, that, if approached, you would be prepared to give that time, particularly as many Members, especially on the Opposition Benches, are keen to hear the Government's view and to see whether they will refuse to implement the farm price increases.
§ Mr. SpeakerI shall wait until I am approached before I make a decision.
