Points of Order

Thomas Docherty Excerpts

Thursday 5th June 2014 Commons Chamber

[Thomas Docherty (Dunfermline and West Fife) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Further to the earlier exchange about the non-availability of information to Members, may I point out that at 10.15 this morning the Vote Office had still not received the written ministerial statement from the Leader of the House which is listed on today’s Order Paper? The Vote Office claims that it did not receive the link to the press briefing until 5 pm yesterday. Can anything be done to make the Leader of the House sort out the mess and investigate what is going on?

[Mr Speaker]

I think that the best course of action is for me to cause inquiries to be made about the timing of delivery, and, when I am in a better position to know exactly what happened, I can revert to the House if necessary, or alternatively to the principals. I do not think that we need to play it out further at this stage.
