§
Order read for resuming deferred Proceeding on Question:
That leave be given to bring in a bill to register certain sections of the travel trade and to introduce a code of conduct for the travel trade.—[Mr. Milne.]
§ Sir Douglas Glover (Ormskirk)On a point of order. Before we carry out this novel proceeding—it is the first time under our Special Orders that a Private Member's Bill has been voted on at this time of night, provided that the House disagrees about it—I submit that on a 1308 Friday, under our previous procedure, when a Bill was debated, if, because it was talked out or for some other reason it was not drawn to a conclusion, that was the end of the Bill.
Here, under our new procedure, we had a Bill on Wednesday which was opposed by hon. Members, and it was therefore decided to bring it to a conclusion at a Division at the end of business. The business that the House was considering on that day was the Consolidated Fund Bill. At 3 o'clock in the morning my hon. Friend the Member for Rutland and Stamford (Mr. Kenneth Lewis)—
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. I dealt with this point some time last week. I hope that the hon. Gentleman will not repeat it.
§ Sir D. GloverWith the greatest respect, Mr. Speaker, we were all talking off the cuff last week. Here we are dealing with a new matter in our Sessional Orders procedure. We are reimposing on the Order Paper a Bill which, in my submission, died at 3.10 a.m. on Wednesday last, because it is clearly laid down in Sessional Orders that this sort of Bill will be decided, in future, at the end of the business for that day. This is no reflection on you, Mr Speaker; it is a reflection on the Leader of the House that our Sessional Orders make no provision for the fact that if, at the end of the business for that day, the House is counted out, it is impossible to take the Division on opposed business.
It is my humble submission that that means that the Private Member's Bill died—
§ Mr. SpeakerI have heard the hon. Member enough on that point of order. I ruled on this last week. Under the Sessional Order it is my duty to put the Question forthwith.
