HC Deb 23 November 1982 vol 32 c801
Mr. A. J. Beith (Berwick-upon-Tweed)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The Division List for the important vote at 10 o'clock last night contains at least two omissions. It omits my name and that of the hon. Member for Ealing, Southall (Mr. Bidwell). I understand that the only way in which the Division List can be corrected, other than months later in the bound volume, is by means of a point of order. Will you examine in due course whether there is not some more efficient and automatic way in which omissions from Division Lists can be corrected in the following day's Hansard? That is particularly important on matters such as this, where there is considerable public interest in whether hon. Members vote.

Mr. Speaker

I shall look again at the matter. I realise that hon. Members who have taken part in a Division, especially on a major Bill such as we had last night and have had again tonight, want their names correctly recorded.
