The questions appear on the Order, Paper, but so far as the Prime Minister is con cerned, the practice has grown up of asking “open” questions, i.e. questions the true purport of which is not apparent until a supplementary is put. The most obvious exam

pvc MADE TO RESIST A TMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
Undoubtedly the most appealing benefit of VEKA windows and doors is their total resistance to atmospheric conditions. Extremes
of heat, cold, sun, rain and wind create multiple problems in windows and doors of wood and metal. Veka frames are immune to such hazards. They will not rust, oxidise, warp, rot or deform even when climatic conditions are further aggravated by the salt-laden and polluted atmospheres encountered
in coastal and heavily industrialised regions. LARGE SAVINGS ON FURNITURE, CARPETS !
