HC Deb 25 February 1969 vol 778 cc1251-2

Order for Second Reading read.

Mr. Hector Hughes

On a point of order. Mr. Speaker, with the greatest respect, you may remember that on 4th February, when this Bill came before the House, I raised a point of order to the effect that HANSARD had not reported the objection——

Mr. Speaker

Order. I have dealt with that point of order twice previously. If there is on the Order Paper an adverse Amendment to a Bill, there is no reason for an hon. Member to object or to call "Objection" after the first time it appears.

Mr. Hector Hughes

You replied, Mr. Speaker, that at that time you were not apprised of the objection that I was raising. I have taken appropriate steps to ensure that you were duly apprised of the objection that I am now raising, and, further, I have put upon the Order Paper——

Mr. Speaker

Order. If objection is taken to a Bill, sooner or later the Chairman of Ways and Means will put it down for debate. I hope that this satisfies the hon. and learned Member.

Mr. Hector Hughes

With respect, further to that point of order——

Mr. Speaker

Order. The hon. and learned Member is trespassing on the very valuable time of the House.

Mr. Hector Hughes

I apologise, but it is important that HANSARD should be a complete record——

Mr. Speaker

Order. The hon. and learned Gentleman has raised this point twice before. If he seeks a change in the Orders of the House he must take it up with the Services Committee.

Second Reading deferred till Thursday.
