SIR F.MILNER (Notts, Bassetlaw)I desire to put a question on a point of Order. It is whether, as it is essential that the decisions of the Chairman should be implicitly obeyed without comment, any step can be taken to put a stop to the growing habit of arguing with the Chair? There have been scenes in the House because the hon. Member for North Kerry on two occasions has declined to obey the Chair; and last Tuesday again several hon. Members below the Gangway declined to do so.
MR.SPEAKERThe hon. Member is not entitled to raise before me any questions as to what goes on in Committee. Such questions must be dealt with in the Committee. The House knows what is due to the authority of the Chair.
§ MR. SEXTONThe hon. Gentleman, I understand, referred to me, but as his observations were not audible I will not make any reply to him.
§ * MR. SPEAKERI was not aware that he referred to any hon. Member. ["Yes, yes!"]
