§ Mrs. Maria Fyfe accordingly presented a Bill to give persons a right of access to any information held by any organisation for the purpose of blacklisting: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time upon 29 April and to be printed. [Bill 129.]
§ Mrs. MahonOn a point of order, Mr. Speaker. If the hon. Member opposing the Bill was a consultant or paid adviser to the Economic League, would he have to declare an interest?
§ Mr. SpeakerI should think that the answer to that is yes, but the hon. Lady will have to look in the Register of Members' Interests for matters of that kind.
§ Mr. RiddickFurther to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. Any hon. Member is allowed to make a speech in opposition to a ten-minute Bill. That is what I was doing. There is no question whatever that I am in the pay of the Economic League. If I were, that information would be in the Register of Members' Interests. I suggest that the hon. Lady looks there for any details.
§ Mr. SpeakerI must say to the hon. Member that I was making no allegations. That is exactly what I said.
