HC Deb 18 March 1969 vol 780 cc339-41

Motion made, and Question put, That the Proceedings on the Parliament (No. 2) Bill may be entered upon and proceeded with at this day's Sitting at any hour, though opposed.—[Mr. Elystan Morgan.]

The House proceeded to a Division

Sir Edward Boyle(seated and covered) (Birmingham, Handsworth)

On a point of order. I have never before raised a point or order in these circumstances, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I did not

hear anybody shout "Aye" when the Question was put and I defy any hon. Member to state categorically that "Aye" was shouted at that point.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Sydney Irving)

I was under the impression that "Aye" was called; but, having proceeded, I must carry on with the Division. There will be another opportunity to test the cries before long.

The House having divided: Ayes 161, Noes 76.
