Former MP for Bethnal Green North East
asked the Minister of Defence if he will state in each case the personnel totals of the armies, navies and air forces, with the numbers of war vessels and military aircraft, of Great Britain, the United States and Russia,
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to state, in sterling, the known or estimated total of debt owed by the United Kingdom to the United States of America.
On a point of Order. May I ask your guidance, Mr. Speaker? On arriving at the Division Lobby door I found that it was locked, before you gave the order to lock the doors. May I ask if that is in order?
Yes.
Several hon. Members here can corroborate the fact that the door was locked before you gave the order, Sir. I only inquire whether that is the usual course, or whether the door should not be locked until you gave the order.
Does the hon. and gallant Gentleman?
It is.
asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the scheme for training ex-Servicemen in practical work on the land is now complete; and can the details now be made available to men interested.
