Question again proposed.

Question put.

Mr. Speaker proceeded to collect the voices, and declared that the "Ayes" had it.

Mr. Davidson

On a point of Order. For what reason are the "Ayes" and "Noes" asked for, when obviously, after persistent cries of "No" from this side of the House, no notice was taken of them?

Mr. Speaker

I did take considerable notice of them, but they appeared to me to die down.

Resolved, That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, in pursuance of the provisions of Section 157 of the Government of Burma Act, 1935, praying that the Government of Burma (Adaptation of Laws) Supplementary Order, 1937, be made in the form of the draft laid before Parliament.

To be presented by Privy Councillors or Members of His Majesty's Household.
