On a point of order, Dr. King. Are we not to talk about Clause 2?

Clause 2 was taken earlier, apparently, in the absence of the hon. Gentleman.

I am sorry Dr. King. I am so tired.

I should like to raise a point of principle on this Schedule while keeping in order and I invite your assistance, Dr. King, on this aspect of the matter—[Interruption.]

Order. Will hon. Members leave the Chamber quietly.

As I took my ticket at the Underground station to come here this morning the gentleman in the queue behind me asked for two tickets for the Tower. I am bound to say that I felt

inclined to change places with him even though he was going towards the dungeons. The reason for that feeling was the realisation that, after a mere four hours of sleep, I must now endeavour to make a contribution on the technical subject of this Schedule. Having been fortunate in catching your eye, Dr. King, I must now endeavour to keep in order to ensure that I do not end up in the Tower.

It has been said that even Schedules have principles and it is to the principle of this Bill that I wish to invite attention. I ask that someone should look at the Schedule again to make sure that the contents, the enactments repealed, are right. I invite someone—I do not know to whom to address my question, whether it should be to the Home Office or not—to look at the Schedule again between now and the Report stage to make sure that what is set out in it is necessary and accurate.

Question put, That this Schedule be the Schedule to the Bill:—

Schedule agreed to.

On a point of order, Dr. King. Is it possible to save you the distasteful task of reporting the Bill to the House? Is it possible for the Committee to say that you should not report it? If that is possible, I should like to say, "No" to your Question.

Photo of Sir Harry Hylton-Foster Sir Harry Hylton-Foster , Cities of London and Westminster

The hon. Member for Peterborough (Sir Harmar Nicholls) was interrupting me in the process of putting the Question—

Photo of Sir Kenneth Pickthorn Sir Kenneth Pickthorn , Carlton

On a point of order. I do not know whether you are in a deprecatory mood this morning, Dr. King, but I believe that it is not out of order to discuss this Question, although I believe that the Chair sometimes deprecates such discussion. I should dislike to be deprecated by the Chair, but—

Photo of Sir Harry Hylton-Foster Sir Harry Hylton-Foster , Cities of London and Westminster

I will interrupt the right hon. Member for Carlton (Sir K. Pickthorn) to assure him that the Chair is in a very deprecatory mood. The right hon. Gentleman was putting an observation to the Chair; I am answering it at the moment. The position is that the right hon. Gentleman is quite right. It is possible to debate this Question, but if he turns up Erskine May he will find that it rules that this Motion is now taken formally and that the Chair is in the habit of deprecating any debate on it. As I said, I therefore deprecate any attempt to debate it.

Photo of Sir Kenneth Pickthorn Sir Kenneth Pickthorn , Carlton

With respect, I do not believe that you have the words quite exact, Dr. King, but I do not rest myself on that. Of course, you are correct in effect, but I want to submit to you that surely what we are now doing is something which has never been done before. The House has never reported a Bill in the condition in which this Bill is and after the procedure which this Bill has been through. It has never happened before—a Bill that is neither Private Member's nor Government's, but both; no responsible sponsor present nor a Minister present on a Bill which had ceased to be a Bill but had been made into a nonsense.

This is the first time that there has been a Private Member's Bill debated and the Committee stage taken at a time when it is known that Government supporters will all be present, Whips on. [HON. MEMBERS: "No."] I will listen to the word "No" and I hope to have nothing else to listen to from any hon. Gentleman who voted as against the desire of those who manage his party.

12.45 p.m.

If my memory serves me right, the Government won the election with a majority of four out of 640 hon. Members. Only 128 went through the Lobby of the Government supporters this morning. How can the right hon. Gentleman claim that all the Government supporters are here on a Wednesday morning?

Photo of Sir Kenneth Pickthorn Sir Kenneth Pickthorn , Carlton

I deprecate that argument. I do not want to say any more—

Photo of Mr Eric Lubbock Mr Eric Lubbock , Orpington

On a point of order. Is the right hon. Member for Carlton (Sir K. Pickthorn) speaking to the Question that you report the Bill, or is he still on the point of order?

Photo of Sir Harry Hylton-Foster Sir Harry Hylton-Foster , Cities of London and Westminster

The hon. Member for Orpington (Mr. Lubbock) asked me what the position was. I was putting the Question, That I do report the Bill, as amended, to the House. I pointed out that I deprecate any discussion on this. In spite of that, the right hon. Member for Carlton is discussing it. This is the factual position.

Photo of Sir Kenneth Pickthorn Sir Kenneth Pickthorn , Carlton

I have on all earlier occasions—

On a point of order, Dr. King. Did you, in fact, complete the process of putting the Question to the Committee, or were you interrupted in the course of so doing?

Photo of Sir Harry Hylton-Foster Sir Harry Hylton-Foster , Cities of London and Westminster

My recollection is clear that I was putting the Question to the Committee and that the hon. Member for Carlton (Sir K. Pickthorn) is in the process of doing something which the Chair deprecates.

Photo of Sir Kenneth Pickthorn Sir Kenneth Pickthorn , Carlton

I am very sorry to do something which the Chair deprecates. I have always avoided doing so before. This is an unique occasion. I wish to make quite clear that never before has a Committee reported progress on a Bill in the conditions and after the procedure which we have now arrived at.
