Mr Paul Dean: Does the hon. Gentleman have the leave of the hon. Member for Shipley (Sir M. Fox) and of the Minister to speak?
Mr Paul Dean: I do not think that the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. Bellotti) meant it that way.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. The debate is very wide already. It would be much better to concentrate on the new clauses.
Mr Paul Dean: With this it will be convenient to take the following:
Mr Paul Dean: Order.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. It will be evident to the House that there is only a little over an hour left. As many hon. Members wish to take part, I appeal for brief speeches.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. I know that the hon. Member is trying to keep in order, but he must direct his remarks to the Bill and the revival motion.
Mr Paul Dean: I hope that the hon. Member for Thanet, North (Mr. Gale) will resist the temptation to depart from the Bill under discussion.
Mr Paul Dean: I am sure that, in responding to that intervention, the hon. Member for Mid-Kent (Mr. Rowe) will direct his remarks to the Bill and the revival motion.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Gentleman again, but he must direct his remarks to this Bill and in particular to the revival motion. It is not in order to discuss another Bill which he might like to see before the House.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. I have to tell the hon. Member, as I said to the Minister for Public Transport, that he will find if very difficult to keep in order in answering that question.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. I do not believe that the Minister wants to give way.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. I think that the Minister will need some ingenuity if he is to deal with that question while remaining in order.
Mr Paul Dean: I am sure that the hon. Gentleman recognises the difficulties facing Mr. Speaker and the Chair.
Mr Paul Dean: I call Mr. John Smith.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. It would be better if the hon. Gentleman did not use his visual aid.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. Will hon. Members who are leaving the Chamber please do so quietly?
Mr Paul Dean: Order. I remind the House that the 10-minute limit on speeches is now in effect.
Mr Paul Dean: Order. It will be evident to right hon. and hon. Members on both sides of the House that there are many who wish to speak in the debate today and tomorrow. The Chair can no longer impose a limit of 10 minutes on speeches, but I hope that those who are called to speak will feel that it is appropriate to volunteer no more than 10 minutes in their speeches.
Mr Paul Dean: That is a matter for the hon. Gentleman who has the Floor.
