§ Mr. Jim Cousins (Newcastle upon Tyne, Central)On a point of order, Madam Speaker. My point of order arises from evidence given this morning by Sir Hal Miller to the Scott inquiry, which raises very serious matters for the House concerning the information with which the House is provided, and the deception of the House and its Committees.
§ Madam SpeakerOrder. The hon. Gentleman gave me notice of his point of order, and my office informed him that he was raising a serious matter that might involve a possible contempt of the House. I know that he takes that seriously, as I do. If he will write to me providing the information that he has, I shall certainly ensure that it is dealt with in the usual way in the event of there being a contempt of the House. The hon. Gentleman should not pursue the matter now, on the Floor of the House.
§ Mr. CousinsI shall be guided by you, Madam Speaker.
