During Question Time, my hon. Friend the Member for Stockton, North (Mr. Cook) raised with the Table a personal difficulty that had arisen, because he had, unfortunately, lost his voice. He requested in those circumstances to be allowed, if he were fortunate enough to catch your eye, to put his question in writing to be read by a colleague or have it put by the Chair. I understand that the Table ruled that that would be out of order. Will you give a ruling on that matter, Mr. Speaker?
