§ [Mr. BRYANT GODMAN IRVINE in the Chair]
§ Mr. Victor Goodhew (St. Albans)On a point of Order, Mr. Godman Irvine. I wish to ask whether this is a practice which is accepted by the Chair. I seem to remember that on previous occasions when an occurrence of this kind took place, with a Bill being rushed through all its stages at 4 o'clock or after 1242 4 o'clock on a Friday, the procedure has been deprecated from the Chair. Is that still so?
