The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN
That Vote has already been passed.

Captain GUEST
On a point of Order. With great respect I should like to submit to you, Captain Bourne, as occupying the Chair this evening, that it is hardly fair to put a Vote of such an important nature as this without even looking at the House of Commons to see whether anybody wants to say anything.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN
The right hon. Gentleman is not entitled to criticise my conduct.

§ Sir PERCY HARRIS
On a point of Order. The right hon. Gentleman opposite did get up, and was very persistent in trying to catch your eye.

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN
Not until after I had collected the voices.
