Mr Sydney Irving: Order. The hon. Gentleman is getting rather wide of the Bill.
Mr Sydney Irving: I must remind the House of Mr. Speaker's request for short speeches, in view of the fact that a large number of hon. and right hon. Members wish to take part in this short debate.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. I would remind the hon. Gentleman that the Motion deals specifically with supplies of smokeless fuel. He is getting rather wide of the Motion.
Mr Sydney Irving: The hon. Gentleman has not been ingenious enough so far to keep his remarks within the scope of the Motion on the Order Paper, which deals with smokeless fuel.
Mr Sydney Irving: The main theme of the Motion is, clearly, smokeless fuel. The hon. Gentleman must stick to that.
Mr Sydney Irving: The remarks that I have heard from the Front Bench or backbenches so far have been in order. I have indicated to the hon. Gentleman that he is getting out of order.
Mr Sydney Irving: The hon. Member for Worcestershire, South (Sir G. Nabarro) is very ingenious but the hon. Member for Buckingham (Mr. Maxwell) is outside the terms of the Motion, which the hon. Member for Worcestershire, South was scrupulously careful to keep inside. The hon. Member for Buckingham must also do so.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. The Motion is much more specific than the debate the hon. Gentleman is seeking to raise relating to steel works. It is concerned with supplies of smokeless fuel. In view of the short debate, I think the hon. Gentleman must stick to the Motion.
Mr Sydney Irving: The view of the Chair is that the Motion concerns the supply of smokeless fuel, and the hon. Gentleman must confine his remarks to that.
Mr Sydney Irving: I cannot enter into a discussion of that topic.
Mr Sydney Irving: Perhaps not irrelevant to the hon. Gentleman's constituency, but out of order in discussing the Motion.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. I am afraid that, although the hon. Member would be making a very interesting speech, he would be out of order if he pursued that line.
Mr Sydney Irving: The hon. Gentleman, so far, is seeking to relate his remarks to the order before us. If he departed from that he would, of course, be out of order.
Mr Sydney Irving: The debate on this Prayer cannot be a general debate on incomes policy. I was becoming rather anxious about the previous speech, but, fortunately, the hon. Gentleman sat down. I cannot allow the hon. Gentleman to pursue his line of argument very much further.
Mr Sydney Irving: It is for the hon. Member for Penistone (Mr. John Mendelson) to decide whether he should give way.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. The hon. Member must come back to the Prayer.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. The hon. Member is getting into a general debate on incomes policy. His remarks must relate to the Prayer, which at present they are not doing.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. The hon. Gentleman is getting into a much wider debate than the Prayer allows.
Mr Sydney Irving: Order. The Chair is concerned only with what is in order in discussing this Prayer.
Mr Sydney Irving: The Question is—[Interruption.]
