European Community Documents (Hansard, 7 February 1991)

§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Harold Walker)
We now come to the motion on milk quotas.

§ Mr. Nigel Spearing (Newham, South)
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. You will know that the motion is identical to a motion passed yesterday morning by Standing Committee A on European Legislation. You will be aware that, normally, with other such Committees in the past, the motion that was passed stood on the remaining Orders of the Day for at least a day to enable any hon. Member to table an amendment if he so chose. If any hon. Member had chosen to do so today, it would be a manuscript amendment. Is it in the best practice of the House to table the motion on the effective Orders today? If so, is it in order?

§ Mr. Deputy Speaker
It is not out of order. However, I understand the hon. Gentleman's concern, and I very much hope that his remarks will be drawn to the attention of the Leader of the House.
