I thank the hon. Member for giving notice of his point of order. Mr Speaker has made his views on this matter very clear. The defence investment plan is a matter of great interest to Members across the House. The Government’s own ministerial code makes it clear that important policy announcements should be made in the first instance to this House when it is sitting. If that does not happen, I am sure that Mr Speaker would look favourably on any request from Members to raise the matter with Ministers at the earliest opportunity in the House.
