Points of Order

Ben Bradshaw Excerpts

Thursday 28th October 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

I will certainly bring that to the attention of the Speaker. You have got it on the record.

[Mr Ben Bradshaw (Exeter) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. In his statement, the Business Secretary said that the many questions that hon. Members had would be answered in the White Paper, but that document was not in the Vote Office when he stood up to make his statement and when most Members were already in the House. May I ask that when the Government make statements on White Papers in future, they ensure that Members of this House have the document before the Secretary of State stands up?

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

I believe that what the right hon. Gentleman says is true, but the document is now available to Members.
