§
Motion made, and Question put,
That the Finance Bill, as amended, may be considered immediately after the re-committal of the Bill and report thereof, notwithstanding the practice of the House as to the interval between the various stages of such a Bill.— [Mr. R. A. Butler.]
§ The House proceeded to a Division. Mr. BUTCHER and Major CONANT were appointed Tellers for the Ayes but, no Member being willing to act as Teller for the Noes, Mr. SPEAKER declared that the Ayes had it.
§ Major Sydney Markham (Buckingham)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Might I explain that when the Division was in progress, it was not announced in the Lobbies that it was off and so I did not have a chance to regain my place to move my Bill to amend the Transport Act, 1947, before the Orders of the Day were called. In the circumstances, might I formally move my Transport Act (1947) Amendment Bill?
§ Mr. SpeakerI am sorry, but I gave the hon. and gallant Gentleman an interval. He must put down his Bill again.
