§ Mr. Bob Cryer accordingly presented a Bill to prevent Ministers of the Crown from having outside financial interests; and for connected purposes: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time on Friday 5 July and to be printed. [Bill 199.]
§ Mr. Roger King (Birmingham, Northfield)On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I listened to the ten-minute Bill presented by the hon. Member for Bradford, South (Mr. Cryer) and I was interested in some of the evidence that he cited, especially the letters. I should like to research those letters a little further. As the hon. Gentleman read them out in the Chamber, should he allow them to be placed in the Library so that we can investigate them and find out who are the people involved?
§ Madam Deputy Speaker (Miss Betty Boothroyd)Order. That is a debating point, and if the hon. Gentleman had wished to debate it, he should have raised it during the hon. Member's speech.
