§ Mr. Max Madden (Bradford, West)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. During questions to the Prime Minister the hon. Member for Shipley (Mr. Fox) complained about trade unionists considering ways to combat privatisation. As the hon. Member for Shipley is retained by a firm that is seeking privatisation contracts, would not it have been advisable for him to declare his interest when he put his question? Does not that underline the need for the rules about the requirement of declaration of interest during Question Time to be reviewed?
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. We dealt with this matter during points of order earlier this week—and last week also. The House knows that it has never been our practice to declare an interest during Question Time. If it were, we would get through very few questions.
