Mr. Terry Lewis and

Question accordingly agreed to.

Motion made, and Question put forthwith pursuant to Standing Order No. 101(5) (Standing Committees on Statutory Instruments, &c.), That the draft Oil Related and Petrochemical Plants (Rateable Values) (Scotland) Order 1993, which was laid before this House on 15th February, be approved.-- [Mr. Wood.]

The House proceeded to a Division --

Mr. Raymond S. Robertson (Aberdeen, South) (seated and covered) : On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for English Labour Members to seek to defeat this order, thus ensuring that business rates in the oil industry in my constituency would be raised by 85 per cent.?

Mr. Deputy Speaker : It is open to any hon. Member to object to any motion.

Later--

Mr. Deputy Speaker : I have asked the Clerk to inquire what the delay is in both Lobbies. If an hon. Member is purposely sitting there, it is verging on contempt of the House.

The House divided : Ayes 147, Noes 41.
