Question accordingly agreed to .

Madam Deputy Speaker : With the leave of the House, I shall put together the remaining Lords amendments.

Hon. Members : No.

Mr. Kenneth Hind (Lancashire, West) : On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. There have now been about nine votes on amendments to this Bill, and another vote on the business of the House. If you look at the number of votes that have been cast from both sides of the House throughout the Divisions on the amendments, you will note that they have remained relatively consistent.

May I seek your guidance, Madam Deputy Speaker? Have we not now reached a stage where it would be appropriate for Members to vote in their places, standing up and sitting down, as has been done previously? It is clear that a great deal of time is being wasted for reasons that have nothing to do with the business before us.

Madam Deputy Speaker : I appreciate the hon. Gentleman's point. Although he must not argue it, I can tell him and the House that I am not prepared to consider his suggestion.

Lords amendment : In clause 11, page 6, leave out from "1963" in line 26 to "as" in line 27.

Question put , That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment :--

The House divided : Ayes 102, Noes 26.
