§ Question accordingly negatived.
§ Mr. Andrew Robathan (Blaby)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I had always understood that the business of the House of Commons was traditionally a matter for a free vote. Outside the Aye Lobby, there were no Whips, either Liberal or Conservative, but outside the No Lobby there were at least four Government Whips, encouraging those with no independence of mind into the Lobby. Is not that an abuse of the House?
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Lord)I must tell the hon. Gentleman that the Whips can go where they please: the Chair has no control over them.
§ Main Question put—
§ The House divided: Ayes 325, Noes 120.
