The hon. Gentleman has appealed to me to withdraw my Amendment. I shall certainly not do so. If it had been contended that it was impossible to impose a charge on local funds on the Report stage, that would have been a valid objection to my proceeding, but that is not what the hon. Gentleman has complained about. His contention is that, while the Government may put down a Motion for recommittal for the purpose of implementing promises given in Committee, a private Member is doing something improper when he tries on that Motion to raise an important Clause which had been already discussed in Committee.
