HC Deb 20 February 1992 vol 204 c570

As amended (in the Standing Committee) to be considered tomorrow.

Mr. Bob Cryer (Bradford, South)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As the Government Whip has not moved the 10 o'clock business motion, did he make any change to the information on the Annunciator? As you have seen, Mr. Speaker, there is a petition on the Order Paper and it seems unfair—[Interruption.] I hope that I shall be able to continue without the interruption of raucous shouts from pinstripe hooligans from the Whips Office. It might be worth trying to encourage Government Whips to ensure that business changes are made clear on the annunciator. That is what the annunciators are for, and it is daft to spend thousands of pounds installing information television sets throughout the Palace of Westminster and then not inform people when business is changed at a moment's notice.

Mr. Speaker

That is not a matter of order. I do not know when the decision was made. It was Conservative Members who had petitions down, and I suppose that they might well have been informed. It is not a matter for me.
