The question is that clauses 46, 47 and 48, which we have already debated, stand part of the Bill.

On a point of order, Mr. Atkinson. I thought that the purpose of the Government's amendments was to leave out these clauses, not for them to stand part of the Bill.

They must be dealt with formally. We intend to deal with them by moving that they stand part of the Bill. If the Government are sensible they will say that they should not.

Clauses 46 to 48 disagreed to.
