HC Deb 18 February 1986 vol 92 c191 3.38 pm
Mr. Frank Cook (Stockton, North)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. We have only two occasions, each of 15 minutes, during any working week when we can put questions to the Prime Minister. That is a maximum of 30 minutes in which to question the Prime Minister on her responsibilities for the nation's welfare. In view of today's display in response to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry, South-East (Mr. Nellist) when the Government Benches responded with a gesture clearly designed blatantly to waste time, is it possible for you, Mr. Speaker, to approach the appropriate authorities and, in accordance with the Rugby Football Union or the Football Association, seek some form of injury time that you might award at the end of Question Time?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman knows that I do not give my reasons, but he may have noticed that today Prime Minister's questions continued until 3.31 pm. That was injury time.
