§ Mr. Tim Devlin (Stockton, South)On a point of order, Madam Speaker. With regard to paragraph (d) of the guidance on the use of House of Commons stationery, if a letter is sent out on House of Commons stationery, which starts with the words:
I am replying on behalf of Tony Blair to your letter dated 3 September concerning our invitation to join the Labour partyproceeds to enclose some information about joining the Labour party, is signed, apparently, by Mr. John Burton, agent to Mr. Tony Blair, and is sent out in an official franked envelope, is that a matter which should properly be directed to the Administration Committee?
§ Madam SpeakerIt is a matter which, in the first instance, should be directed to the Serjeant at Arms, who will question those concerned. If there has been misuse of stationery or postage, those involved will be required to refund the amounts concerned.
