§ Sir G. Fox(seated and covered): On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. I should like to have your advice on whether it is in Order for Members supporting the Government to sing the "Red Flag" in the Lobby. Not only are they doing it now, but they did so on a previous occasion.
§ Mr. SpeakerI have no knowledge of what happens in the Lobby. Those in one Lobby may sing one song, and those in the other Lobby may sing another. That is outside my jurisdiction.
