PRAYERS (Hansard, 13 May 1987)

HC Deb 13 May 1987 vol 116 cc261-4 261

§ [MR. SPEAKER in the Chair]

§ Mr. Speaker
I have a short statement to make. The order of the House of 13 November last provided for a ballot to be held today for private Members' motions to be moved on 5 June. Clearly, in the changed circumstances there is no point in having a ballot for that day I have therefore given directions that it should not be held. I understand that this is acceptable to the House.
