HC Deb 21 May 1947 vol 437 cc2429-32
Mr. Deputy-Speaker

Before calling upon the right hon. Baronet the Member for Antrim (Sir H. O'Neill) to move the Amendment, after "Britain," to insert "or Northern Ireland," I have been instructed by Mr. Speaker to say that this Amendment has been selected, in spite of the long discussion in Committee, solely on the ground that hon. Members, by mischance, failed to record their votes in the Lobby, and it is, therefore, called for a Division only.

Sir Hugh O'Neill (Antrim)

I beg to move, in page r, line II, after "Britain," to insert "or Northern Ireland."

Mr. Deputy-Speaker rose—

An Hon. Member

Where is the seconder?

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

May I ask hon. Members to leave this to the Chair? In this case I happen to be right.

Question put, "That those words be there inserted in the Bill."

The House divided: Ayes, 33; Noes, 230.
