§ Question accordingly negatived.
§ Further consideration adjourned.—[Mr. Andrew Mitchell.]
784§ Bill, as amended (in the Standing Committee), to be further considered tomorrow.
§ Mr. Brian Wilson (Cunninghame, North)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I witnessed an incident—[Interruption.]
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Geoffrey Lofthouse)Order. I am trying to deal with a point of order. I cannot do so unless I can hear it. Will hon. Members leaving the Chamber do so quietly, please, and will those beyond the bar stop their discussions?
§ Mr. WilsonI witnessed an incident in the Division Lobby after you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, had called for the doors to be closed. A doorkeeper was wrongly treated by an hon. Member, resulting in a slight injury to his hand. I assure you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that it is not the numbers that I am worried about, but it is disgraceful that a servant of this House should be treated with such arrogance by a Member of the House. Will you make inquiries and report on it tomorrow?
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerI shall have the incident investigated.
§ Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow)May I ask for guidance on a matter of procedure? Starred amendments Nos. 302 and 303 appeared on the amendment paper, relating to the royal borough of South Queensferry. Technically, what happens to starred amendments? Do they come back in another place, or are they covered by the procedures that we have just gone through?
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerThe Speaker will consider that matter tomorrow.
