Sir Harmar Nicholls (Peterborough)

On a point of order. May I ask, Mr. Speaker, whether it was not unusual for the Motion which was put by the Leader of the House and has been accepted by the House not to appear on the Order Paper? If it is unusual, what was the reason for the omission?

Mr. Speaker

In the first place, it is a Privilege Motion. It is not unusual for it to be taken in this way, and it is not debatable.
