"Today's published Commons order papers contain a question to be answered by a minister later this week. The Guardian is prevented from identifying the MP who has asked the question, what the question is, which minister might answer it, or where the question is to be found."if a question is asked in the commons and nobody hears it, was it really asked?
the spectator has some good commentary on the whole issue over here and the guardian has some further coverage this morning. it seems that a question is being tabled in the commons about the question which can't be discussed. how's that going to go for a parliamentary debate?! are they going to have to refer to "Question X"? "The Question Which Must Not Be Named"?
edit: stephen fry is claiming victory via twittersphere but for whatever reason, the gag order is rescinded.
