HC Deb 24 January 1984 vol 52 c778
Mr. Martin J. O'Neill (Clackmannan)

I have given you notice of my point of order, Mr. Speaker. In view of the blizzards which are hitting the northern part of the country, and Scotland in particular, would it be possible for you to use your good offices with the Leader of the House to ensure that the Secretary of State for Scotland will make a clear statement in the House as soon as possible about what is happening and the damage that is being done?

Mr. Speaker

I shall not need to use my good offices, as the Leader of the House and the Secretary of State for Scotland are both present.

Mr. Bill Walker (Tayside, North)

For your information, Mr. Speaker, I should like to say that the police and rescue services in my constituency, which has been badly hit, have kept me fully in the picture.
