HC Deb 17 October 1989 vol 158 c1

[Mr. SPEAKER in the Chair]

Dame Elaine Kellett-Bowman (Lancaster)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Since Prayers are Private Business, may we ascertain that in no circumstances will they ever be recorded by the cameras?

Mr. Dennis Skinner (Bolsover)

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. Why do you not say to the hon. Lady that the television cameras have not yet started to roll?

Mr. Speaker

They have not yet started, and that is in the domain of the Select Committee. I confirm that Prayers have always been and will remain private.

Mr. David Ashby (Leicestershire, North-West)

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. Will you order that the cameras point skywards during Prayers?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman should raise that with the Select Committee, too.
