§ 3.30pm
§ Mr. Robert Adley (Christchurch)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. You will be aware of the anxiety expressed by right hon. and hon. Members on both sides of the House today about coach safety. When I have tabled questions on the matter, I seem to recall being informed by the Table Office, or by the Department of Transport, that central statistics are not kept and are therefore not available in so far as they relate to coach accidents. My hon. Friend the Minister's announcement today appears to contradict that earlier evidence, however, so could could you ensure that, if information is available to the Department of Transport, it is also made available to hon. Members?
§ Mr. SpeakerI cannot give that undertaking, but if the Table Office is responsible for not allowing the hon. Gentleman to put down a question, I shall look into it.
