I have no problem with that. When a Question by an hon. Member from an area is dropped--- As you are aware, sometimes five of us come together and request an hon. Member to ask a Question on our behalf on matters regarding electricity, health and so on. When such a Question, which is of national importance, is dropped because that particular hon. Member is not in, the rest of us who had an interest in that matter are disadvantaged. I would like to seek your guidance. I am not an expert on Standing Orders, but we need some clarity so that when a Question of national importance is asked in the House and the Questioner is not in, we get an answer to that Question. We lose when it is dropped!"}
