HC Deb 12 March 1991 vol 187 c812

The following Member took and subscribed the Oath:

Michael Carr, Esq., for Ribble Valley.

Mr. Bob Cryer (Bradford, South)

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, the Prime Minister made an important statement of policy in Germany, but no statement has been made to the House. I know that you do not have any direct control over that, Mr. Speaker, but surely, as a matter of accountability, when the Prime Minister makes an important statement that we are to capitulate completely to the Common Market, he should make the statement here or give an account of it so that he can be questioned on it. It is disgraceful that the Prime Minister is avoiding that accountability. Have you had any indication that the Prime Minister will have the guts to come to the House and make a statement?

Mr. Speaker

I have had no indication that there is to be a statement today. I did not even have a request for a private notice question.
