§ Mr. Don Dixon accordingly presented a Bill to restrict the sale of certain glues to children under the age of sixteen; to strengthen the powers of the police in relation to persons under the effects of glue sniffing; and for connected purposes: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time upon 18 February and to be printed. [Bill 50.]
§ Mr. Hugh D. Brown (Glasgow, Provan)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I seek your guidance. I thought the established practice was that when a Ten-Minute Bill is moved there should be no further speeches unless another hon. Member seeks to oppose it. Does not the speech of the hon. Member for Enfield, North (Mr. Eggar) amount to an abuse of the privilege of this House?
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Paul Dean)The hon. Member for Enfield, North (Mr. Eggar) was within his rights to oppose the motion. I put the motion from the Chair as there was nobody voting against, and it was automatically passed.
