§ Sir Peter Emery (Honiton)Mr. Speaker, I have given you notice that I am desired today to move for the issue on 3 January of your Warrants in respect of Writs for by-elections in 15 constituencies in Northern Ireland—that is to say, all the constituencies in Northern Ireland except Belfast, West, and Foyle—in place of the 15 Northern Ireland Members of Parliament who have accepted today a disqualifying office—we used to call it "an office of profit under the crown".
In order to save the time of the House may I ask that these motions be taken together and that their text be published in the Votes and Proceedings and in the Official Report?
§ Mr. SpeakerDoes that course have the agreement of the House?
Hon. MembersAye.
