HC Deb 19 July 1967 vol 750 cc2137-431

As amended (in the Standing Committee), further considered.

Mr. Speaker

I have posted up in the usual way the selection of Amendments. There are minor variations from the selection which I published last week.

We come now to new Clause No. 8.

Mr. Anthony Grant (Harrow, Central)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. With respect, I recall that a separate Division on new Clause No. 6 was to be allowed.

Mr. Speaker

I am grateful for the reminder. So many things have happened to me since the last debate that I think

the House will pardon me if I do not always remeber. We will take a decision at once on new Clause No. 6.
