spoke seven times in the same period The sesslon commenced November 17 1960 and was adjourned July 13 check of speaking reconds of individual members indi cates that MessrsSmith and Rynnrd were not among the more frequent spcakers inthe house However their speeches comments and questions were still more frequent than those of number of backbcnchcrs some of whom spokeonly once or twice and few not at all NOIl TRUE GUIDE Veteran observcrs oi parlia ment point out that the number of times member speaks in the house is not necessarily guide to the members value and worth as an MP Some members speak rarely in the house but take much more vocal and active part in the discussions of one or more of the standing and special com mittees of the Commons In addition of course MP5 are also busy
