§ Mr. Dafydd Wigley (Caernarfon)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Can I raise a matter that I have discussed briefly with you and written to you about? It arises from the deliberations of the Select Committee on Welsh Affairs, but I do not wish to speak in that context, because that Committee has not reported to the House. If anything which I have said in another context and which has been reported has broken any rules of the House, I apologise.
If a Select Committee has taken evidence in public but has not published that evidence and does not intend to produce a report, although some members of the Committee might feel that a report should be published, does anything prevent hon. Members, acting in a personal capacity, from using such evidence to support a private report on the subject under consideration? If this matter needs more thought, perhaps I can leave it with you, Mr. Speaker, but I should be grateful for your guidance so that I do not break the rules of the House.
§ Mr. SpeakerThe sensible thing for me to do is to look into the matter that the hon. Gentleman has raised. I shall communicate with him.
