HC Deb 07 February 1991 vol 185 cc433-95

As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.

Mr. Allen McKay (Barnsley, West and Penistone)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Although I would never question your judgment, Mr. Speaker, I ask you to look again at the non-selection of new clauses 3 and 5. I do not think that the Social Security Act 1990 was taken into consideration. In that Act provisions were slipped in which were not debated because of the guillotine but which debarred hundreds of thousands of industrially deaf people from being able to claim compensation. New clauses 3 and 5 were intended to put that right. I hope that consideration can be given to those people who, not because of sleight of hand but because of that addition to the 1990 Act, were debarred from claiming justifiable compensation.

Mr. Speaker

I am aware of the hon. Gentleman's point, but this is a very narrow Bill. Having considered carefully new clauses 3 and 5, I regret that I had to come to the conclusion that they were beyond the scope of this Bill.

Ordered, That the Bill be considered in the following order: new Clauses, new Schedules, Clauses 1 to 4, Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Clauses 5 to 7, Schedule 3, Clauses 8 to 10, Schedule 4, Clauses 11 to 15.—[Mr. Neil Hamilton.]
