Amendment made to the proposed Lords amendment, after second 'words', insert 'and a'. —[Mr. Bates.]

Lords amendment, as amended, agreed to.

Mr. Speaker

The guillotine Order now provides that I shall put forthwith the Question on any motion made by a Minister of the Crown that the House should disagree with the Lords in a Lords amendment.

As the House knows from its experience the other night, the strict interpretation of those words is that the motions to disagree should be moved and the Questions put on them one by one. That interpretation which I followed the other evening seems to have caused some concern and I have had representations from both sides of the House that the House would be willing to accept the moving together of consecutive sequences of motions to disagree provided that there is no wish in any quarter to divide on any of them.
