The following Question stood on the Order Paper in the name of Mr. Kirkwood:
92. To ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is yet in a position to announce the setting up of a Naval base upon the Clyde.
Before leaving Questions, Mr. Speaker, would you allow Question 92 to be put? It is a most important Question, the Minister is here to reply to it, and you have several times allowed Questions to be put in this way.
There are a good many Questions between No. 67 and No. 92, and if I allowed the hon. Member to put his Question, all the other hon. Members with Questions on the Paper might want them to be answered also.
Is it not the case that this has been done on one or two occasions?
It has been done only as an exceptional procedure, when the Minister has wished to answer a Question and the House has agreed.
