Mr. Graham Stuart (Beverley and Holderness) (Con):
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I understand that there will no
longer be time today to hold my Adjournment debate on the River Humber
and River Hull flood management strategies, and I wonder whether I can
ask through you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that Mr. Speaker look favourably on
my application when the House returns, because my constituents, who were
looking forward to having their grievances heard, will be disappointed
not to have done so this evening.
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Michael Lord): I
can well understand the hon. Gentleman’s disappointment at not being
able to hold his Adjournment debate this
26 Nov 2008 : Column 855
evening. I am not in a position to guarantee these things, but I am
quite sure that he will be able to present that debate early in the next
parliamentary Session.
