Order, Deputy Birmingham indicated earlier that he wished to raise a question.

I want to raise two matters which I sought to raise earlier, and would have done within a matter of seconds, relating to the conduct and the organisation of Question Time today. The first matter I want to raise is that a priority question of mine was ruled out of order and I received notice of that only today. My understanding was that you sought to give notice, as a matter of course, in sufficient time to allow a Member to nominate a question that he had tabled as an ordinary question for priority in those circumstances. I have to express my disappointment about that.

If the Deputy had communicated with my office this matter could have been resolved quite easily.

I only received communication from your office at 10.30 or 11 o'clock this morning.

I shall have to look into that aspect of the matter.

Can I expect to hear from you in regard to this?

Indeed.
