§ Mr. Bill Walker (Perth and East Perthshire)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Is it not an abuse of the House to introduce a Bill at this late stage in the Session when there is no hope of its ever being passed?
§ Mr. SpeakerI shall be brief, to save time, as many hon. Members wish to speak on the main business. I should not be surpised if we had another similar motion on Wednesday of next week, if it is in order.
