HC Deb 03 July 1992 vol 210 c1070 9.36 am
Mr. Dennis Skinner (Bolsover)

On a point of order, Madam Speaker. You will have heard questions yesterday about the French blockade of British hauliers in France. Have you received any information about a statement by the Foreign Minister on the subject? Is it not about time that the Foreign Minister called in the French ambassador to try to stop the carnage and the threats to the British lorry drivers to the effect that if they do not behave, their windows will be smashed? It is high time that Parliament stopped crawling on its hands and knees to Jacques Delors and the rest of them, and did something about the British drivers and holiday makers.

Madam Speaker

The answer to the hon. Gentleman's direct point of order is no. I have not received any requests from the Government about making an announcement or statement this morning.
