HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 cc30-110

As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

4.10 pm
Mr. Stanley Orme (Salford, West)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. You have selected new clause 1 and a series of amendments from my hon. Friends and myself. Would you clarify the procedure and say when those amendments will be called, if at all?

Mr. Speaker

When the guillotine falls at 10 pm, it will be necessary to put the Question on the amendment then being discussed—not on the whole series of amendments. In timetable business, the House always tries as far as possible to meet the wishes of the Opposition. If the right hon. Gentleman does not like the arrangement—although the amendments fall together—I shall be glad to consider any proposed change.

Mr. Orme

I may have misled you, Mr. Speaker. Is it correct that, before we proceed to discuss the amendments, new clause 1 will have to be put to the House and agreed to?

Mr. Speaker

Yes, that is right.

Mr. Orme

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
