HC Deb 20 July 1988 vol 137 cc1100-1
Mr. Andrew Faulds (Warley, East)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. As a housing action trust notice has been served on one of the council estates in my constituency, and since both the town clerk and the members concerned were given extremely late notice, am I entitled to put down now an emergency question to discuss the matter?

Mr. Deputy Speaker

The hon. Gentleman knows that we have no provision for emergency questions. The hon. Gentleman can ask a private notice question, provided that he follows the usual form and submits it at the usual time. It will then be a matter for the judgment of Mr. Speaker and his advisers.

Mr. Richard Holt (Langbaurgh)

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. We have a busy day ahead of us. I hope hon. Members will recognise that we have much work to do.

Mr. Holt

Further to the point of order raised by the hon. Member for Warley, East (Mr. Faulds), Mr. Deputy Speaker. Would it have been in order for me to table a question in relation to the point—[Interruption.]

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. I am afraid that some of these points of order are of a bogus character.

Mr. Holt

rose——

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. The hon. Member for Langbaurgh (Mr. Holt) is pushing me to the point where I shall have to have regard to his behaviour.
