That the draft Cash Ratio Deposits (Value Bands and Ratios) Order 2008, which was laid before this House on 2nd April, be approved. —[Liz Blackman.]

As many as are of that opinion, say Aye; to the contrary, No.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Given the proportions in the last vote, would it not be reasonable for this to be carried by acclaim rather than by a formal Division?

When the previous vote was taken the collection of voices was challenged, and it has been on this occasion. I have no alternative but to proceed with the Division of the House.

Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is it not a fact that one's voice should follow one's vote in the Lobby?

I believe that that is the customary practice, but the Chair has absolutely no intimation of what impact that will have on the numbers.

The House divided: Ayes 258, Noes 6.

Question accordingly agreed to.
