§ Mr GINNELLI desire to draw your attention to what seems to me to be a breach of order. Yesterday I handed in notice of a Bill. That notice does not appear on the Paper to-day, and I would respectfully ask you by whose direction it is omitted, and under what authority?
§ Mr. SPEAKERIt was announced by the Prime Minister yesterday, in the course of his speech, that there would be no ballot for private Members' Bills. It was, therefore, no use accepting the notice of the hon. Member. If he will look at the Order Paper he will see that the Prime Minister has a Motion which will stop private Bills being brought in until the end of the year.
§ Mr. GINNELLI have asked you on what authority this was done. An announcement of the Prime Minister does not bind this House.
§ Mr. SPEAKERIt was done on my authority, after having heard what the Prime Minister had to say.
