§ Mr. Tony Banks (Newham, North-West)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I hope that I will be able to assist you and the House. As you know, there has been intense public speculation about and interest in the GCE O-levels of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, with the result that many hon. Members are being asked by the press to supply details of their O-level qualifications and school reports. For the record, I have a list of degrees as long as my arm, most of which were purchased very cheaply from the back pages of Private Eye, something which I would encourage the Prime Minister to do. Would it assist you, Mr. Speaker, if Members of Parliament now lodged copies of their GCE O-level certificates with the Registrar of Members' Interests so that any press inquiries can be speedily resolved by the registrar himself?
§ Mr. SpeakerPerhaps the hon. Gentleman could log his four O-levels voluntarily.
§ Dr. Norman A. Godman (Greenock and Port Glasgow)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. My point of order refers to this afternoon's questions. Is not it unseemly in the parliamentary sense, as well as being deeply offensive, for a Minister responsible for shipping to claim that more fishermen are lost at sea under a Labour Administration than under a Tory Administration?
§ Mr. SpeakerThis is a continuation of Question Time. I am not responsible for answers that are given at the Dispatch Box.
