§ Mr. BUCHANANMay I ask a question from you, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, before we proceed further?
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Mr. James Hope)Is it a point of Order?
§ Mr. BUCHANANYes, it is a point of Order. On the Reorganisation of Offices (Scotland) Bill, I understood you to shout out "Monday." My point of Order is that we took it to be Monday, and I would like to know whether there has been any alteration of date.
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERThis is a Government Bill, I think, and I confess 1405 that I do not now remember, with the number of Bills that have been passed, what was said, but whatever was said I repeated.
§ Mr. BUCHANANMy reason for raising this point of Order is that I understand my objection will not be valid if I do not raise it now. My distinct recollection is that you said "Monday."
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERWhatever I said, was recorded by the Clerk. I cannot now remember what I said. I think the only course for the hon. Member is to consult the Clerk.
§ Mr. JOHNSTON rose—
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERIt is impossible to continue this discussion. It might be raised at Eleven o'clock to-morrow—
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERIt might be raised then, if there has been any doubt about it. The Bill was called, and I cannot remember now for what day, but it was recorded.
§ Mr. MAXTONOn a point of Order. This is a matter of considerable importance to a very large number of Members of this House.
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERI cannot allow further discussion on the matter.
§ It being after half-past Eleven, of the Clock upon. Thursday evening, Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER adjourned the House, without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
§ Adjourned at Twenty-nine minutes after One o'Clock.
