§ Mr. Michael Jack (Fylde)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. When I returned home last night and listened to the BBC news for the south-east, Lord Whitty was reported as having announced that there will be a full-scale public inquiry into the foot and mouth outbreak, whereas the Secretary of State cast some doubt on that in her statement today. First, through your good offices, Mr. Speaker, could I ask that accurate language is used when Ministers are talking about this sensitive and important matter? Secondly, if there is to be a full-scale public inquiry into the outbreak, could you use your good offices to ensure that the House of Commons hears about it first?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe right hon. Gentleman could have put that matter to the Secretary of State when she was making her statement. I cannot be responsible for the Minister's words. I am sure that an appropriate announcement will be made about any public inquiry.
