§ Mr. D. N. Campbell-Savours (Workington)Some may say that the most important meeting on international affairs last week was that of the interim committee of the International Monetary Fund. Have you noticed, Mr. Speaker, that today, instead of the Chancellor of the Exchequer coming to the Dispatch Box to make an oral statement on decisions taken at that meeting, the Government have sought once again to make a written reply, thereby ensuring that hon. Members are precluded from asking questions on this very important subject? Is it not an abuse of our procedures for the Government to act in this way?
§ Mr. SpeakerNo, it is not an abuse of our procedures.
