§ Dr. Julian Lewis (New Forest, East)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Can you tell us whether you have received notification either from a Home Office Minister or from a Defence Minister of an intention to make a statement about the implications for homeland security of recent reports of incidents on the high seas that suggest that al-Qaeda-type organisations have it in mind to use large tankers or merchantmen as airliners were used to attack America? This is a very worrying development, and the House should have an opportunity to discuss it.
§ Mr. SpeakerI have had no notification, but I am sure that the hon. Gentleman's comments will be noted by the appropriate Minister.
