§ Mr. SpeakerI have a short statement to make. Right hon. and hon. Members will have noticed the installation during the Summer Recess of two digital clocks above the Government and Opposition Back Benches. These are synchronised with the digital clocks on the Clerk's Table. Since there is occasionally a discrepancy between the time shown by the digital clocks and that shown by the more conventional clocks at each end of the Chamber, I propose in future to go by the time shown on the digital clocks, which I think are clearly visible to all hon. Members.
If, when hon. Members are addressing the House, they keep their eyes on the clock rather than on me, I shall not take it as a personal affront.
