§ Mr. David Winnick (Walsall, North)On a point of order, Madam Speaker. Some hon. Members have drawn a distinction between statute law as such and complying with resolutions of the House. Are the resolutions passed last night to be implemented and honoured? Is it not the case that, if a resolution of the House is passed, it has all the authority of the House of Commons and there can therefore be no excuse whatever for any hon. Member to argue that, because it is not statute law, it has no bearing on him or her?
§ Madam SpeakerThe hon. Gentleman is asking me hypothetical questions at this stage. It remains to be seen how we begin to implement the resolutions that we accepted last night.
