§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. I have a short statement to make on a matter of privilege. I have received a complaint from the hon. Member for Birmingham, Ladywood (Ms. Short) on behalf of an officer of Birmingham city council, who alleges that he has received adverse treatment in his employment as a consequence of acting as an agent for a petition against the Birmingham City Council (No. 2) Bill. I am satisfied that the complaint raises issues that justify me in granting precedence to a motion relating to it. If the hon. Lady tables a motion today, it will appear as the first item of business tomorrow.
