Cannot the discussion on the Question be resumed?

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

No. The Standing Order says that the discussion on a Vote on Account necessarily comes to an end at eleven o'clock, or so soon after that as the other business has been disposed of.

And, it being Eleven of the clock, the Chairman proceeded, pursuant to Standing Order No. 15, to put forthwith the Question necessary to dispose of the Vote.

Question, "That Item Class II., Vote 11 (Board of Agriculture and Fisheries), be reduced by £100."

Whereupon the Chairman left the Chair to make his Report to the House.

Resolution to be reported to-morrow; Committee to sit again to-morrow.
