§ Mr. Jacques Arnold (Gravesham)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Page 18 of "Erskine May" refers to the salary paid to the Leader of the Opposition, being the sum of £49,207. From what date will that payment come into force, and will the Opposition make a statement about the date on which the Leader of the Opposition will be appointed?
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Geoffrey Lofthouse)The hon. Gentleman seems to have been raising bogus points of order most of the day. That is not a matter for the Chair.
