On a point of order, Mr Speaker. My hon. Friend the Minister said that the amendment in the name of my hon. Friend Mr Carswell would commit the Government to an illegal act. Am I right in saying that any amendment accepted by the House for debate is in order and that it would be quite improper for any amendment to commit Her Majesty's Government to anything illegal? Were not the Minister's remarks a matter of debate rather than a statement of fact?
