Points of Order (Hansard, 24 June 2004)

HC Deb 24 June 2004 vol 422 cc1483-4 1483 2.19 pm

§ Mr. Kevin Hughes (Doncaster, North) (Lab)
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Given that it is now abundantly clear that the Leader of the Opposition grossly misled the House yesterday at Prime Minister's Question Time—

§ Mr. Speaker
Order. Neither the Leader of the Opposition nor any other Member would grossly mislead the House.

§ Mr. Kevin Hughes
Apparently misled.

§ Mr. Speaker
Order. Inadvertently.

§ Mr. Hughes
Inadvertently. It may well have been inadvertent, Mr. Speaker. I pass no judgment on that. What I want to know is whether the Leader of the Opposition has a message for your Office to apologise not only to the House for misleading it but to the people who work in the national health service in his area.

§ Mr. Speaker
That is not a matter for the Chair.
