Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 18 March 1965.
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy-Speaker. We who have been in the House for some years realise that the expression that the Government have been guilty of sharp practice or that the Tory Party or the Labour Party has been guilty of sharp practice may be in order. But is it in order to name a right hon. Member and say that he personally has been guilty of sharp practice? Is it not right that, if one speaks in the plural of a party or an organisation, that is permissible, but it is not permissible to accuse a right hon. or hon. Member of sharp practice?
