§ As amended (in the Standing Committee), considered.
3.50 pm§ Mr. Jon Owen Jones (Cardiff, Central)On a point of order, Madam Speaker. I cannot understand why my amendment to delete Wales from the provisions of the Bill was not selected. No other amendments are anything like that amendment, and there is no opportunity for me or my colleagues to raise the issue, because, once again, the amendment has not been selected.
§ Madam SpeakerThe hon. Gentleman complains about the non-selection of his amendment. The selection of amendments is the responsibility of the Speaker. I have looked at them carefully to make my selection for today's debate.
§ Madam SpeakerOrder. I have told the hon. Gentleman as gently as I can that the selection of amendments is entirely at the discretion of the Speaker.
