HC Deb 13 May 1998 vol 312 c378

Lords amendments considered.

3.42 pm
Mr. Oliver Letwin (West Dorset)

On a point of order, Madam Speaker. The financial memorandum was issued before the Lords considered the Bill and contains figures in tens of millions. Since then, the financial effects have increased and the sums involved will be between £1.3 billion—and, if the amendments are accepted—at least £2.6 billion greater. Could you instruct me how the Government should proceed under such circumstances?

Madam Speaker

The matter that the hon. Gentleman has raised is not a matter for the Chair. The financial implications of the Bill are a matter for the Government. The hon. Gentleman can seek to catch my eye to put those points to the Minister at the appropriate time.
