§ Mr. Tam Dalyell (West Lothian)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I hesitate to raise a point of order again, but I wrote to you this morning about the right hon. Member for Plymouth, Devonport (Dr. Owen), who last Tuesday made very serious statements that were contradicted by the former chief of defence staff. I draw to your attention the fact that the newspaper report to which you referred yesterday is, on scrutiny, extremely ambiguous. The right hon. Member for Devonport has some obligation to come to the House and make a personal statement.
§ Mr. SpeakerI received the hon. Gentleman's letter this morning, but I must tell him and the House that it is no good believing that raising repeated points of order will cause a right hon. or hon. Member to be called to make a personal statement. I cannot intervene in this matter, and I hope that the House now understands that.
