May I ask—

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member cannot speak on this Motion.

Question agreed to.

Mr. SNOWDEN

On a point of Order. When Motions similar to the one just passed have been before the House, have you not allowed Members to put questions?

The Motions were not similar. The Motion just passed is an exceptional Motion under Standing Order 1, and it does not permit of amendment or debate.
