On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Would it be in order for you, on this historic morning, to send a congratulatory telegram to the winner of the Mid-Staffordshire by-election, who will shortly be gracing the Labour Benches?

I do not think that we have had that precedent in the House—

rose—

Order. I shall have the opportunity of welcoming the hon. Lady some time next week.

Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. Will it be within the terms of the first motion to be discussed today for us to refer specifically to transport journey times to Mid-Staffordshire and other areas, or would you rule that inappropriate and perhaps intruding on the grief of the Government?

I do not know about the grief of the Government, but I should have thought that the motion is wide enough to deal with journey times to Mid-Staffordshire or anywhere else.
