§ MR. LYTTELTON (Warwick and Leamington)I have been informed there was an error in the counting of the "No" votes in the division on the Trades Disputes Bill on Friday. The hon. Member for Derby and myself stood as tellers at the door of the "No" lobby, and without unduly depreciating our powers of counting it is probable that the lobby clerks' record of 256 votes, instead of 246 as was returned, is correct. I have communicated with the hon. Member for Derby in order that the matter may be submitted to the House, but as the hon. Gentleman is not in his place, I respectfully ask you, Mr. Speaker, for advice as to the method in which the mistake can be corrected.
§ MR. SPEAKERIf both tellers come to the Table and state, not that they think it probable, but that they are satisfied that the correct figure was 256 instead of 246, steps can be taken to amend the Journal of the House.
