Business question from Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 February 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I am sorry to say that a student present at a lecture given yesterday by a holocaust survivor has complained about the conduct during that lecture of the hon. Member for Cannock Chase (Mr Burley). Is it not about time that the Government sorted this whole affair out by publishing the outcome of the inquiry and organising a debate on the investigation that the Prime Minister announced into the hon. Gentleman's involvement—[Interruption.] ... My office contacted his. ... I attempted to phone personally, but the answerphone was on and so I asked my office to call. Is it not about time that this whole affair was sorted out, so that we can get to the bottom of the hon. Gentleman's involvement in a party at which people chanted ““Hitler, Hitler, Hitler”” and toasted the Third Reich?
