On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. This morning you will have noticed news coverage of the Secretary of State for Defence trying to gag coroners by taking legal action. Have you had a request from the Secretary of State to come to the Dispatch Box and make a statement on this important matter?

That is not a point of order. If the right hon. Gentleman wishes to table parliamentary questions to the Minister concerned, he is welcome to do so.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. In fairness to you and the House, I simply observe that my office was told by the independent reconfiguration panel that it is publishing its report on Thursday rather than today at the behest of the office of the Secretary of State for Health.

I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising that matter.
