HC Deb 18 August 1911 vol 29 c2264
Mr. BOOTH

May I ask a question on a point of Order. When a Division is called under the old custom I suppose the raising of a hat indicated that an hon. Member was prepared to act as a teller. To-day two hon. Members raised their hands but they were not recognised by the Chair. I wish to ask whether it is necessary to wear our hats and rise in our places or what hon. Members should do?

Mr. SPEAKER

They may do as they please.
