§
Motion made,
That this House doth agree with the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services), in their Fifth Report in the last Session of Parliament, on Computer-based Indexing for the Library.—[Mr. Shape.]
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Oscar Murton)I should mention that Mr. Speaker has selected the amendment in the name of the hon. Member for Newham, South (Mr. Spearing).
§ Mr. Nigel Spearing (Newham, South)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. 1347 From inquiries that I made earlier I understood that this was not exempted business and that the amendment I have down did not form an automatic block. I was therefore present in order to make an objection. I was not aware that this motion was not debatable at this hour.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerIt is in fact not debatable.
§ Mr. SpearingFurther to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Do I need to object to it in order to see that the motion is not debated or does not go through on the nod?
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerIn the circumstances I take it that the hon. Member is objecting to it.
§ Mr. SpearingYes.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerObjection taken. Which day?
§ Mr. Peter Snape (West Bromwich, East)This day.
