§ Mr. Andrew Reed accordingly presented a Bill to establish national standards for community and amateur sports clubs; and for connected purposes: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time on Friday 21 July, and to be printed [Bill 146].
4.30 pm§ Mr. Ian Bruce (South Dorset)On a point of order, Madam Speaker. We keep getting news that our English football team, and, unfortunately, our tug-of-war team are all losing. I seek your guidance, Madam Speaker, on how one can get a victory recorded in Hansard. As the president of the House of Commons sailing club, I am pleased to tell you that the House of Commons has just beaten the House of Lords, bringing the series equal at six all. We are looking forward to next year, when perhaps we can take the lead in that series as well.
§ Madam SpeakerI am delighted to be given that news, and to know that this House licks the other place in some things at least. On Monday night I was very disappointed when, yet again, we did not win the tug-of-war, so that news is very well received. Thank you.
