§ Mr. Dolandasked the Prime Minister whether he will consult the will of the House of Commons as to the desirability of limiting the Questions daily placed on the Order Paper by any Member to one, in view of the urgent necessity for Ministers and permanent officials to get on with the war?
§ Mr. AttleeI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which was given to the Noble Lord the Member for Horsham and Worthing (Earl Winterton) on 28th May last. I will convey my hon. Friend's suggestion to Mr. Speaker, who, 1275W I am sure, will be ready to consult the wishes of the House. I would, however, remind my hon. Friend that recently the number of Oral Questions placed on the Paper is tending to decrease. I hope that this may continue, in view of the heavy burdens which fall upon Ministers and Departments at this present time.
