§ Mr. THURTLEI desire to raise a point of Order. In the course of yesterday's sitting, Mr. Speaker, you ruled out of Order as unparliamentary and invited me to withdraw the words "Pecksniffian cant." As I may upon some subsequent occasion desire to use either or both those words, I shall be glad if, for my guidance, you will explain to me the nature of your objection; whether your objection is to the adjective "Pecksniffian" or to the word "cant."
§ Mr. SPEAKERI am not prepared to discuss my Ruling. If the hon. Member seeks information for his guidance I May say that I should take objection both to the one and the other, individually or combined.
§ Mr. THURTLEMay I be permitted, as a Member of this House who believes in the right of Members to use ordinary vigorous English, to record my protest against your Ruling?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat will not affect my decision.
