Mr. LOUGH

On a point of Order. I think that it might be for the general convenience of the House if you would kindly tell us whether any general discussion can be allowed on the Resolution, or whether throughout the day the discussion will be confined to the particular Resolution that you put from the Chair?

Mr. SPEAKER

The discussion must be confined to each Resolution as it comes up. There can be no general debate.
