Written Question 124

HC Deb 27 March 1991 vol 188 c961

Mr. Alan Beith (Berwick-upon-Tweed)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Have you had any request from the Prime Minister to answer written question 124 orally? It asks the Prime Minister whether he has any plans to assist former Prime Ministers with their office and secretarial expenses. I feel that the House should be notified about the matter before the debate today begins. It might have been appropriate to question the Prime Minister on whether he has any such plans.

Mr. Speaker

I am sure that the whole House will read the answer when it is available.
