§ Mr. Tristan Garel-Jones (Watford)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker.
The House will recall that on 24 March the hon. Member for West Stirlingshire (Mr. Canavan) sought leave to introduce a Bill under the Ten Minutes Rule entitled "House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 (Amendment)". That Bill was aimed fundamentally at disqualifying the right hon. and hon. Members who sit in the House in the Social Democratic interest. The hon. Gentleman introduced his Bill with his characteristic moderation, but you may be disturbed to know, Mr. Speaker, that in col. 813 of Hansard the hon. Gentleman's speech is recorded as having been delivered by you. Therefore, I ask that the appropriate column of Hansard be amended accordingly.
§ Mr. Dennis Canavan (West Stirlingshire)I can well understand the Hansard reporters confusing you with me, Mr. Speaker, because we have so much in common. I congratulate you on the best speech that you never made.
§ Mr. SpeakerI am obliged to the hon. Member for Watford (Mr. Garel-Jones). Life is full of tribulations. I had noticed that error and I moved with greater speed than usual to assure Hansard that I was unworthy of being shown as the author of the oratory of the hon. Member for West Stirlingshire (Mr. Canavan). I understand that in the fullness of time, when the bound volume is published, the correction will be made.
