HIGHWAYS (MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS) BILL (Hansard, 23 June 1961)

HC Deb 23 June 1961 vol 642 cc1865-921 1865

§ Order for consideration, as amended (in the Standing Committee), read.

§ Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be re-committed to a Committee of the whole House in respect of the Amendments to Clause 3, page 3, lines 17, 28 and 30, and Clause 6, page 5, line 19, standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Mr. Aitken.—[Mr. Aitken.]

§ 12.35 p.m.

§ Mr. Dudley Williams (Exeter)
On a point of order. I understand that there are other Amendments in the names of other hon. Members. I was wondering whether, if the Bill is committed to a Committee of the whole House, those Amendments would also be committed to the Committee should you, Mr. Speaker, decide to accept them.

§ Mr. Speaker
The Motion involves a partial recommittal of the Bill. The only parts of the Bill which will be recommitted are those named in the Motion, not others.

§ Mr. Williams
Further to that point of order. Can you tell me, Mr. Speaker, how we can consider the other Amendments on the Notice Paper should they be called?

§ Mr. Speaker
If the Bill is recommitted partially it will pass into Committee and, in the normal course of Parliamentary events, will emerge from Committee for consideration on Report. The Amendments, such of them as are selected, will be considered at that stage.

§ Question put and agreed to.

§ Bill immediately considered in Committee.
