Question, "That the Lords Amendments be now considered," put, and agreed to.

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. I wanted to record a vote in this Division in the "No" Lobby, but the attendant locked the door of the Lobby on this side first, and allowed ten Members from the other side to go into the "Aye" Lobby. I resent the fact that the attendant closed the "No" Lobby first and allowed ten Members to go into the "Aye" Lobby after I had been prevented from recording my vote. The attendant is now laughing behind your back. Should there not be two attendants, one at each door?

There is only one attendant who locks both doors, and it takes him a second or so to go from one door to the other.

Why should he lock my door first?
