§ Mr. SpeakerThe House will remember that last week I made a statement with reference to the procedure to be adopted for the presumption of death of a serving Member for the purpose of issuing a Writ. I said then that I would postpone a definite decision in the matter for a week, to give an opportunity to hon. Members to make suggestions to me or to submit any proposals on the matter which they might wish to make. Two hon. Members, the hon. Member for East Wolverhampton (Mr. Mander) and the hon. Member for Ebbw Vale (Mr. Bevan), have submitted proposals to be considered. I am now considering these proposals and hope to be in a position to make a further statement at a future Sitting.
