§ And it is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this resolution should have statutory effect under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1913.
§ The CHAIRMAN put the Question thereupon forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 90 (Ways and Means Resolutions):—
§ The Committee proceeded to a Division, and The CHAIRMAN having directed that the doors be locked—
§ Mr. R. J. Maxwell-Hyslop (Tiverton) (seated and covered)May I raise a point of order, Dr. King? Did not I hear you order "Lock the doors", rather than "Clear the Lobbies", and, if so, is the Division valid in that case?
§ The ChairmanIt was an error for which the new Chairman apologises to the Committee, and which I corrected at once by giving the correct instruction.
§ Ayes 303, Noes 293.
