§ Mrs. Angela Browning (Tiverton and Honiton)On a point of order, Madam Speaker, at business questions last week, the Leader of the House anticipated that the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry would wish to keep the House informed of the progress of his discussions on Rover-BMW. We are aware from the press of the meetings that he has had. Have you yet received any request from him to make a statement or to inform the House of the progress that he may have made?
§ Madam SpeakerNo, I have not been informed that the Secretary of State is seeking to make a statement. The hon. Lady will have heard the exchanges between the Leader of the Opposition and the Prime Minister today and she will know, like me, that the Secretary of State has to answer questions tomorrow. Perhaps she will try to catch my eye at that stage, when she might put a question or two to him.
