HC Deb 25 November 1985 vol 87 c613 3.32 pm
Mr. D. N. Campbell-Savours (Workington)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I wonder whether you have given any consideration to the status of the meeting that took place the other day between the Prime Minister and President Reagan, because if it could be construed—

Mr. Speaker

Order. Although I have many responsibilities, I am certainly not responsible for meetings that may take place between the Prime Minister and the President of the United States. I do not think that I can rule on that.

Mr. Campbell-Savours

I was not asking whether the matter fell within the area of your responsibilities, Mr. Speaker, but whether you had considered it and would consider my point of order in the light of that.

Mr. Speaker

I have not even thought about it.

Mr. Campbell-Savours

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker

It must be different.

Mr. Campbell-Savours

You said that you had not considered these matters. Is it in order for me to ask you whether you have been approached by the Prime Minister's Office with a view to the right hon. Lady making a statement about her meeting in Brussels last week with Mr. Reagan, because the House would wish to question her on those matters?

Mr. Speaker

That is a different matter. I have not been approached.
