§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Mr. Bill Homewood (Kettering)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I did make an application for a Standing Order No. 9 debate—
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. I must explain to the House, because this is an untidy procedure. The hon. Member for Kettering (Mr. Homewood) contacted me and said that he might seek the Adjournment of the House under Standing Order No. 9. I think that we must adapt when there are special circumstances. Although the Orders of the Day have been read—and this, to quote the hon. Member for Fife, Central (Mr. Hamilton), must not be taken as a precedent—I do not want the hon. Member for Kettering to feel that he has been unfairly treated. He thought that he would be able to make an application under Standing Order No. 9. By leave of the House—and only by leave of the House—I shall put the Orders of the Day a second time a little later on.
