§ Mr. SPEAKERI have to ask the attention of the House for a moment. A Private Notice question relating to my conduct in the Chair during last Friday's Sitting was sent to me on Saturday. On Monday morning I was asked to postpone it until to-day. Now I understand that it is not to be put.
I do not think that the incidents of Friday should pass without any notice [Cheers.] The occupant of the Chair does not claim infallibility, but he must claim the support of the House in his decisions at the time when they are given, subject always to the right of the House to call his conduct in question by the constitutional method provided in the Rules of the House. [Cheers.]
§ Mr. CLYNESMay I be allowed to express unqualified concurrence with the statements which you have just made from the Chair, and to express our complete confidence in your impartiality as Speaker?
§ Mr. BALDWINI am sure that all sections of the House will be with you, Mr. Speaker, in the words that you have just read to the House.
