Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Bill, reported with an Amendment.

8.0 p.m.

Mr. E. G. Willis (Edinburgh, East)

On a point of order. I could not hear the business which is being conducted.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker (Sir William Anstruther-Gray)

The business was clearly conducted. I heard What was said to me and I do not think it is necessary to repeat the well-known formula with which the House is acquainted.

Mr. Willis

Surely it is for hon. Members to hear the business. It is not a kind of conversation conducted at the far end of the House. We here certainly did not hear what was being said.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

If it please the House to hear what happened, so be it.

Mr. Michael Hughes-Young (Lord Commissioner of the Treasury)

I beg to report that the Committee has gone through the Bill and made a further Amendment thereto.

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

That is quite clear. Bill to be considered, when?

Mr. Hughes-Young

Now, Mr. Deputy-Speaker.

Bill, as amended (in Standing Committee, and on recommittal), considered.
