§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will seek to amend the rota for oral questions in such a way that questions to the right hon. Member answering for the Church Commissioners and questions to the Paymaster General share a block of 10 minutes every three weeks, with each alternating in priority over the other.
§ Mr. BiffenAt this stage in the Session such alterations as my hon. Friend suggests are best left until the summer recess, when the current Session's arrangements will in any event be assessed with a view to preparing next year's questions roster. I shall, however, give due consideration to my hon. Friend's suggestions.
