Question accordingly agreed to.

Mr. Gerald Bermingham (St. Helens, South)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. After nearly two decades in this place, may I ask you please explain how, after a vote on the composition of the Committee, those who voted against its proposed composition can serve on it? [Interruption.] I hear a noise on my right, but it is of no consequence.

I ask for your guidance, Mr. Deputy Speaker. How can traditions be so abused by a stupid vote?

Mr. Deputy Speaker

In these circumstances, Members are bound by the decision of the House. That is quite routine.

Mr. Bermingham

Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

I have already dealt with the point of order.

Mr. Bermingham

rose

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order.

Mr. Bermingham

rose

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. The hon. Gentleman must sit down when I am on my feet. I have dealt with the point of order. What the hon. Gentleman has done is the wrong way of dealing with these matters, and we shall now move on to the next business.

Forward to
