§ Mr. Hugo Summerson accordingly presented a Bill to introduce a standard form of lease for residential property: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time on Friday 29 July and to be printed. [Bill 202.]
3.42 pm§ Mr. Tony Marlow (Northampton, North)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I have left it until now, when things have quietened down and there are fewer hon. Members in the Chamber. However, the hon. Member for Bootle (Mr. Roberts) is currently in the Chamber. You will recall that before you came in my hon. Friend the Member for Macclesfield (Mr. Winterton) raised a point of order with Mr. Speaker. During that point of order, the hon. Member for Bootle—who is a very honourable and honest man—shouted at my hon. Friend that he thought he was a Fascist. Now would be an appropriate time, with a light House present, for the hon. Gentleman to have an opportunity to withdraw the remark. I am sure that, in the full light of day, he would not like it to be held against him.
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Paul Dean)Order. I was not in the Chamber at the time, but my recollection is that Mr. Speaker dealt with the matter when it arose.
