§ Mr. SpeakerBefore I call the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it may be for the convenience of hon. Members if I remind them that at the end of the Chancellor's speech, as in past years, copies of the Budget Resolutions will not be handed around in the Chamber but will be available to hon. Members in the Vote Office.
§ Mr. R. J. Maxwell-Hyslop (Tiverton)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Would it not be for the convenience of the House, as I see from the Order Paper that the first order today is, surprisingly, not a Government order, if Motion No. 31 on the Order Paper on the subject of value added tax, in the names of myself and some of my hon. Friends, were taken with that which you are about to call?
§ Mr. SpeakerI am advised that that would be quite contrary to precedent.
