Sir George Young
I am not sure that the assertion that the Americans have a monopoly on the broadcasting of what is going on Egypt is correct.
The Foreign Secretary made an extensive statement on the World Service last week, which was followed by a series of questions and answers. I cannot promise a debate on the subject, but the next session of Foreign Office questions will provide another opportunity for it to be raised.
Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)
Following the right hon. Gentleman’s exchange with the Chairwoman of the Backbench Business Committee, the hon. Member for North East Derbyshire (Natascha Engel), may I point out that I have voted for the Government more times than the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer added together?
If the Government must whip, would it not be useful for the details to be on the Order Paper so that we know which votes are whipped and which are not?
