§ 4.15 p
§ Mr. Gerald Bermingham (St. Helens, South)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. It is a simple matter. In answering the question raised by the hon. Member for Thanet, South (Mr. Aitken), the Leader of the House said that the amendment which stands for debate on Monday in the name of my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Warley, West (Mr. Archer), myself and others sought to overturn the Treason Act 1790. That is completely untrue. The record should be amended to show that we seek only to change the penalty.
§ Mr. SpeakerAssuming that the amendment is called for debate, that matter will be debated on Monday next.
