§ Order for Committee read.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYOn a point of Order. I may be wrong, but I think there is something amiss here. If you look at the Order Paper, Mr. Deputy-Speaker, you will see that the fourth item has to do with "Supplementary Estimate, 1928," and on looking over the page it says: "Class 2, Vote 5 (Dominion Services)," and that is a Supplementary Estimate for the ex gratia grants to ex-service men in the Irish Free State. Further down on the Order Paper is Item No. 6:
Supply, [1st March] Report; Adjourned Debate on Question [5th March].If you look at the bottom of that same page, you will see:Motion made and Question proposed, 'That this House doth agree with the Committee in the Resolution.'Then follows the Resolution, which is for the same sum as is provided for in the fourth Order of the day.
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Mr. James Hope)The fourth Order is the one now before us. I am afraid I cannot follow the hon. and gallant Member's argument. What has this to do with the sixth Order?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYThe fourth and the sixth Orders are exactly the same.
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERIf they be the same, that perhaps may be a point of Order when we come to No. 6, but I do not see that it is on No. 4.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYI may he wrong, and I have been trying to fathom this since I saw the Order Paper 759 this morning, but I think we have already passed the Committee stage on this matter.
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKERPerhaps when I descend to the lower Chair if the hon. and gallant Member, on consideration, thinks he has a case that the Committee stage has already been passed, I will consider it, but meanwhile I cannot reject the hypothesis that he may possibly be wrong.
