HC Deb 22 July 1975 vol 896 c296
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Will you confirm, with respect to Item No. 6 on the Order Paper—the ill-starred motion by the Attorney-General—that the fact that it has lost its star means that it is not debatable in the House tonight and that it merely receives unanimous assent, or, given one objection, it again fails? Would you be good enough to confirm that to the House? I think there is general interest in it.

Mr. Speaker

The star—the asterisk has nothing to do with it. The point is that it is now on the Order Paper, and the hon. Member will know that it can proceed only if it is not objected to.
