HC Deb 12 February 1971 vol 811 c1159

Question proposed, That the Clause stand part of the Bill.

Mr. Arthur Lewis (West Ham, North)

On a point of order, Sir Robert. distinctly heard at least two voices objecting to a number of these Clauses. I think that it is in the recollection of myself and of the hon. Member for Ilford, North (Mr. Iremonger) that we both shouted, "No". I thought that my voice was loud enough for you to hear. I suggest that all these Clauses should be put again to see whether there are enough hon. Members here to vote on them.

The Chairman

The position is clear. If the hon. Gentleman or any other hon. Member wishes to say "Object", that is the end of it. If they do not wish to say that, they must say "No". It has the same effect.

Mr. Lewis

Then I say "Object".

The Chairman

Then the Question is, That I do report Progress and ask leave to sit again.

Committee report Progress; to sit again upon Friday next.
