Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 4 May 1955.
Mr. Speaker:
I have stated the rule, and if hon. Members will reflect upon it they will see how essential it is to preserve it in the interests of every hon. Member of this House. They will see how necessary it is that any charge made against an hon. Member should be put down in the form of a Motion so that the House can decide the matter after full debate, which is not possible at Question Time. Mr. Ness Edwards—a personal statement.
