Yesterday the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun) made a complaint to me founded on a letter and some documents. The material parts of the letter were read to the House. In my opinion the hon. Member's complaint does disclose prima facie a breach of privilege, and I so declare.

Question put and agreed to.
