HC Deb 02 April 1913 vol 51 c403
Mr. PIKE PEASE

On behalf of my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Abercromby Division of Liverpool (Colonel Chaloner) I beg to give notice—[HON. MEMBERS: "No, no."]

Mr. PIKE PEASE

I submit, Sir, that it is in order for a Member to give notice on behalf of an hon. Member who is absent.

Mr. SPEAKER

I was under the impression that the hon. Member had to be present, but I am told by those who think they know better that it is not so. I certainly thought it was otherwise.

Mr. A. F. WHYTE

Is it not the case that an hon. Member last year attempted to give notice on behalf of another Member in the same way, and was ruled out of order?

Mr. PIKE PEASE

May I state, Sir, on a point of Order, that on more than one occasion notice has been given by another Member.

Mr. SPEAKER

I will take the notice now, and look up the authorities. If the notice is in order it will be accepted.

Mr. PIKE PEASE

I beg to give notice that on this day four weeks my hon. and gallant Friend will call attention to the administration of the Insurance Bill, and move a Resolution.

Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

I beg to give notice that on this day four weeks I will call attention to the fact that many insured persons find it impossible to obtain under the Insurance Act medical attendance provided in accordance with the undertaking given by His Majesty's Ministers, and move a Resolution.
