As the speaker said, p293 of Erskine May (the 24th Edition, 2011), does state a a Member who wishes to raise a privilege complaint is required to give written notice.

The relevant section states:
"A Member who wishes to raise a privilege complaint is required to give written notice to the Speaker as soon as reasonably practicable after the Member has notice of the alleged contempt or breach of privilege.".

I cannot find anywhere other than the £267.00 book "Erskine May" where those procedures are noted, it is therefore perhaps unsurprising that Chris Bryant was unaware of them.
