§ Mr. Malcolm Bruce accordingly presented a Bill to promote methods of conservation of energy; and for connected purposes: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time upon 24 October and to be printed. [Bill 202.]
§ Mrs. Elaine Kellett-Bowman (Lancaster)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I was under the impression that, some little time ago, although an hon. Member who opposed a Bill did not seek to divide the House, he was obliged so to do. On this occasion my hon. Friend the Member for Tayside, North (Mr. Walker) and I said no, but no Division was called.
§ Mr. SpeakerOrder. If the hon. Member for Tayside North (Mr. Walker) and the hon. Lady said no, they did not say it within the hearing of the Chair. Certainly at this end of the Chamber it was not audible. The hon. Lady will know that I put the Question twice.
§ Mrs. Kellett-BowmanI said no twice.
§ Mr. SpeakerThe hon. Lady should make her objections more audible.
