GAIRLOCH HARBOUR ORDER CONFIRMATION BILL

SHETLAND ISLANDS COUNCIL (HAM VOE, FOULA)

ORDER CONFIRMATION BILL

Read the Third time, and passed.

Mr. Speaker

Questions to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry—

Mr. Gerald Howarth

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, which relates to the business of the House. The whole House is grateful to you for the protection and consideration that you give to Back Benchers. You may have noticed that the Order Paper states that Prime Minister's Questions are to begin at 3.15 pm. Surely the Leader of the Opposition deserves protection as well, and it may help him out of his discomforture to—

Mr. Speaker

Order. I think that Her Majesty's Stationery Office also deserves protection. It was a mistake.
