HC Deb 21 January 1985 vol 71 c713
Mr. Gareth Wardell

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I am sorry to delay our proceedings, but I seek your guidance on a procedural matter. I tabled a question to the Secretary of State for Wales, which was transferred to the Secretary of State for Transport. It initially appeared as question No. 1 on the Order Paper. I seek your guidance, on two points. First, is it procedurally correct that it should now appear as question No. 16 on today's Order Paper? Secondly, if we reach that question today, will the Secretary of Transport, or one of his Ministers, be here to answer it?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman is correct to say that his question now appears as question No. 16 on the Order Paper. I am not responsible for the transfer of questions. However, if we reach question No. 16 today, the Minister should be here to answer it.
