Question put and agreed to.

Sir Waldron Smithers (Orpington)

On a point of Order. There is a picture, Mr. Speaker, in St. Stephen's Hall which depicts one of your predecessors, the inscription of which reads: Sir Thomas More, as Speaker of the House of Commons, in spite of Cardinal Wolsey's imperious demand, refuses to grant King Henry VIII a subsidy without due debate. 1523. I wish to protest most strongly against the imperious refusal of this Government to allow a Debate on the Report stage of the Budget Resolutions.

Mr. Speaker

That is a decision of the House and not of the Government. The House has decided that matter.
