§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Lord President of the Council why, in arranging for a sponsored or arranged parliamentary Question to be placed on the Order Paper, he will not in future declare it in his reply or use some other means of notifying the House that it is a sponsored Question.
§ Mr. FootIn my view such an addition to Question Time procedures would be unnecessary; moreover, it would be difficult to define "sponsored Question" in any precise and generally acceptable way.
