HC Deb 18 December 1972 vol 848 cc1080-1

Motion made, and Question proposed, That a Select Committee be appointed to consider procedures for scrutiny of proposals for European Community Secondary Legislation and to make recommendations.—[Mr. Murton.]

11.23 p.m.

Mr. Richard Body (Holland with Boston)

There are a number of matters which ought to be raised on this important issue. I submit that there are a number of unsatisfactory features in the way that the motion has been presented.

As you may know, Mr. Deputy Speaker, there has been a report—

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Miss Harvie Anderson)

Order. Is the hon. Member seeking to oppose the motion?

Mr. Body

I feel bound to oppose it.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

I take it from what the hon. Member is saying that he is opposing the motion.

Mr. Body

Yes.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

In that case I must take his objection.

It being after Ten o'clock, and objection being taken to further Proceeding, the debate stood adjourned.

Debate to be resumed tomorrow.
