§ Mr. Carol Mather (Esher)On a point of order. May I ask your advice, Mr. Speaker? The Leader of the House a short time ago answered a Question of mine, confirming that the Prime Minister was asking officials to prepare a Bill to allow for a delayed vote for those away on holiday during wakes weeks in the North in July and August. May I ask whether such a thing can be done without it going before the Speaker's Conference, and whether such a proposal has been put before your conference?
§ Mr. SpeakerThe Speaker's Conference at present is not in existence. Whether I am glad or sorry about that is another matter.
