Just on a point of accuracy, Mr. Speaker, since you ask me. In her opening remarks Mrs. May said that new clause 1 would have passed with Conservative votes. I just want to put it on the record that that is not accurate; if all Conservative MPs had voted for new clause 1, the vote would have been 247 for the Government and 225 against. Therefore, she is wrong on that.
