HC Deb 20 July 1988 vol 137 cc1099-100
Mr. Ray Powell (Ogmore)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. We are given to understand that a statement has been made by the Secretary of State for Wales. He visited my constituency earlier today and left to make a statement on a very emotive subject in Wales—the Welsh language and future Government legislation. Before you say that this is not a matter for you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, will you assure me and the House that a request was made for the right hon. Gentleman to make a statement to the House about the argument that we had with him recently on another matter——

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. I think that we have gone far enough. Can the hon. Gentleman not tell that it is July? I have received no request for a statement to be made.
