Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Lord President of the Council – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 29 April 1991.

Many matters have had to be dealt with during the Session, not least the Gulf war. It is not possible to have general debates on every subject, but many opportunities are available to hon. Members to raise matters of concern.
