§ Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Have you, Mr. Speaker, had any requests from Ministers to make a statement on reports about the possibility of conscription because of the Gulf crisis? There were widespread reports in the newspapers yesterday. Have the Government made any requests along those lines?
§ Mr. SpeakerOver the weekend, one frequently reads speculative articles. I have not received representations from the Government on the matter. The hon. Gentleman will have an opportunity to pursue the issue in the debates on the Adjournment motion if any fresh information becomes available.
