HC Deb 06 April 1973 vol 854 cc873-4

Not amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

Motion made, That the Bill be now read the Third time.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins (Putney)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. May I draw your attention to the fact that in this case there is an amendment, new Clause 1, which I understand has not been selected. I wish to raise two points on that. I know that we cannot discuss Mr. Speaker's selection or non-selection but in Committee the Minister gave cer- tain undertakings to examine matters which had been raised—

Mr. Deputy-Speaker

Order. I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Gentleman. I am sure he will understand that undertakings given by Ministers in Committee cannot form the basis of a point of order to me now. I am enjoined by the Standing Orders to treat this Bill in the same way as the previous Bill. I should say "There being no amendments on consideration, Third Reading on what day?" The motion is then moved and the Question is put at once. I cannot entertain any points of order, since none can arise. I must put the Question now.

Question put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 56 (Third Reading), and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed
