Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 3:30 pm on 2 April 1996.
Miss Betty Boothroyd
Speaker of the House of Commons
3:30,
2 April 1996
I have listened very carefully to what the hon. Member has said. I have to give my decision, of course, without stating any reasons. I am afraid that I do not consider that the matter that he has raised is appropriate for discussion under Standing Order No. 20. I cannot therefore submit the application to the House.
