§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Mr. SpeakerI hear objection. What day?
§ Mr. Leslie Hale (Oldham, West)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I did not hear an objection. I thought that there was no objection.
§ Mr. SpeakerI am sorry, but I heard objection, and I cannot do anything about it. It is a matter for my hearing.
§ Mr. HaleThen I must answer by saying Friday, 5th March. Do I understand, Mr. Speaker, that the objection came from this side of the House?
§ Mr. SpeakerI can never undertake to say from what angle the sound reaches my ears. I have to act on the sound reaching it. I accept the hon. Gentleman's date, but I have forgotten what it was.
§ Second Reading deferred till Friday, 5th March.
