§ Lords Message:
§ The Lords insist on their Amendments in page 14, line 33, page 19, line 41, page 2200 26, line 5, to which the Commons have disagreed, for the following Reason:
§ "Because they are consequential on the Amendment made by the Lords to leave out Sub-section (1), upon which they insist."
§ Sir G. CAVEThis is an Amendment consequential upon the striking out of the alternative vote, and I am afraid the same point of Order arises. Under these 2201 circumstances, perhaps, the best plan would be to postpone this Amendment also.
§ Further consideration of the Lords Reason postponed.—[Sir G. Cave.]
§ Lords Message:
§ They disagree to the Amendments made by the Commons to the Amendment made by the Lords in page 51, line 17 (paragraph 39), for the following Reason:
§ "Because they are consequential on the disagreement by the Commons with the Amendment made by the Lords in Clause 18, Sub-section (1), an Amendment upon which the Lords insist."
§ Sir G. CAVEThis is consequential on the alternative vote, and no point of Order arises upon it. I move, "That this House cloth insist on its Amendments to the Lords Amendment,. to which the Lords have disagreed."
