HC Deb 25 June 1992 vol 210 c400 4.19 pm
Mr. Jeremy Corbyn (Islington, North)

On a point of order, Madam Speaker. You will recall that, during Prime Minister's Question Time, I had Question No. 5 to the Prime Minister, in which I asked a question about London's homeless. There was a great deal of noise when the Prime Minister replied, so you may not have heard his answer properly. It seemed to me that he got lost somewhere outside London while giving the answer. The question was about London's homeless, but the Prime Minister chose to tell the House about Salford and Manchester. Could you advise me on the best means of getting the Prime Minister to answer a question about the problem of London's homeless? That was my question.

Madam Speaker

The best advice that I can give the hon. Gentleman is to apply again to put a question to the Prime Minister. Better luck next time.

Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow)

Should we not thank you, Madam Speaker, for allowing business questions to run their full span?

Madam Speaker

The only thing that I can say in answer to that is that, if hon. Members co-operate by putting questions briskly, and the Lord President co-operates in answering, I am keen to call Back Benchers at business questions. I thank the hon. Gentleman.
