On a point of order, Madam Speaker. It emerged in Kent at the weekend that members of the Labour-run county council want to spend £1 million on conferences, magazines and enjoying themselves on overseas visits. Can we not interrupt our business to discuss that important matter?
Miss Betty Boothroyd
Speaker of the House of Commons
Order. The hon. Gentleman knows full well that that is not a point of order. It is an abuse of the House of Commons' time.
