§ Sir G. NabarroOn a point of order. I gave notice to your office earlier this afternoon, Mr. Speaker, that I wished to put this point of order to you immediately following the Treasury statement.
Last Wednesday, I was unavoidably absent from the House, honourably paired with the hon. Member for Bedwellty (Mr. Finch). However, my name appears in a Division list, No. 215, as having voted with the Government on the land betterment levy, thereby causing all my constituents and myself great distress.
As I was in Newcastle-upon-Tyne at 9.20 p.m. televising, and could not then have been in the House, would it be possible for you, Sir, in retrospection, to give orders for the matter to be remedied and my name taken off the Government voting list?
§ Mr. SpeakerI realise the gravity of the point which the hon. Gentleman raises; it is almost a Star Chamber matter. His remarks will be noted in HANSARD. He will be relieved of the responsibility of having voted in a way in which nobody in the House would imagine he would have voted.
