HC Deb 01 July 1975 vol 894 c1205

[1ST ALLOTTED DAY]

As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

4.12 p.m.

Mr. Speaker

In order to save the time of the House during the guillotined proceedings on the Industry Bill, I propose to suspend the current experimental lengthening of the period allowed to hon. Members for reaching the Division Lobby.

Accordingly, today, tomorrow and Thursday, while the Industry Bill is under discussion, there will be an interval of four minutes, not six, between the appointment of the Tellers and my order to lock the doors.

Mr. Patrick Cormack (Staffordshire, South-West)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Although personally I am quite happy with that arrangement, there will be many hon. Members in Norman Shaw House who will not have heard your announcement and who could he in difficulties.

Mr. Speaker

I have anticipated the situation. Measures have been taken to see that my statement was communicated through the usual channels much earlier today, and therefore hon. Members will have been warned.
