HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 c2434W
Lieut.-Colonel IMURRAY

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is aware that questions to the hon. Member for Monmouth, as representing the Forestry Commissioners, are very seldom reached by Mr. Speaker; and whether, having regard to the fact that such questions are few in number, he can arrange that a place be assigned to them on the Order Paper not later than No. 45 on at least one day in each week?

Mr. BONAR LAW

In view of the great difficulty of arranging that questions addressed to the more important Departments are so placed on the Paper as to ensure an oral answer once a week, I do not think that it would be possible to meet the hon. Member's wishes. So far the questions addressed to my hon. Friend the Member for Monmouth do not appear to have been of an urgent character, and would seem to have been adequately met by a written reply.
