§ Mr. Frank Cook (Stockton, North)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. There will be no need for me to remind you of the mysticism which prevails upon me from time to time issuing from the procedures of the House. You will have gathered from some of the errors that I have made during my short time in the House that I get puzzled, not least by some of the horological aspects of its business. I ask you to recall the incident at the end of the main business yesterday when the light-emitting digital diodes displaying the time were working backwards. I am aware that the Government are intent on turning back the clock, perhaps rewriting history and maybe even redefining truthfulness in the process. However, may I prevail upon you to bring to bear your good offices on the authorities responsible for the timepieces to ensure that they do not behave in a similar fashion today? Perhaps, at the same time, they might give some attention to the number three main lift in Norman Shaw north, which is equally exasperating.
§ Mr. SpeakerI am aware that the clock on my left went into reverse towards the end of business yesterday. I do not think that it had anything to do with the Government. It has been put right this morning. I take note of what the hon. Gentleman said about the lift in Norman Shaw north.
