Question put, and agreed to

Mr. Simmons

I have to report, Mr. Speaker, that two names should be added to the figures of the "Noes." This has been agreed. They are Mr. Buchan-Hepburn and Sir Hugh Lucas-Tooth

Mr. Speaker

If both parties are agreed, then, of course, there are two to be added to the "Noes." The figures therefore are: Ayes, 296: Noes, 143
