HC Deb 09 July 1974 vol 876 cc1142-3
Sir David Renton

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Before 10 o'clock last night I tabled two amendments to the Trade Union and Labour Relations Bill, but they are not available in the Vote Office today This is a serious matter, and I should be grateful for your help in regard to it.

Mr. Speaker

The right hon. and learned Gentleman gave me notice of his point of order. I shall look into the matter he has raised. In the meantime, I can give him the assurance that, as he handed in his amendments in due time, I shall not treat them as starred amendments for the purposes of selection tomorrow.

The Minister of State, Civil Service Department (Mr. Robert Sheldon)

Further to that point of order. I must apologise to the House for the present arrangements, but there is the probability of a diffusion of functions between the emergency printing being done in various ways and the work of the House. The amendments were delivered in accordance with the usual practice, and I suggest that the right hon. and learned Gentleman consults the House.
