Points of Order (Hansard, 12 June 2002)

§ Mr. David Willetts (Havant)
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Would it be possible to invite the Prime Minister to correct the parliamentary record, given the answer that he just gave to my right hon. Friend the Member for Chingford and Woodford Green (Mr. Duncan Smith) about youth employment? The Prime Minister said that 4,500 young people were unemployed, but may I invite him to correct the record, as the correct figure is 244,000, of whom 44,000 have been unemployed for more than six months?

§ Mr. Speaker
That is not a point of order.

§ Mr. Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield)
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Have you received any request from the Prime Minister to come to the House to correct his comment during Prime Minister's Question Time that the Conservative Opposition opposed the Proceeds of Crime Bill? I do not recollect that happening at all; rather, the reverse was the case.

§ Mr. Speaker
That is an extension of Prime Minister's Question Time.

§ Mr. George Osborne (Tatton)
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker—

§ Mr. Speaker
Order. I hope that this point of order is not about any answer that the Prime Minister has given, as that is nothing to do with me.

§ Mr. Osborne
It is not, Mr. Speaker. The Downing street website does not include the hon. Member for North Swindon (Mr. Wills) in its list of Ministers, but yesterday, I saw the hon. Gentleman—

§ Mr. Speaker
Order. The Downing street website has nothing to do with the Speaker.
