2.17 pm
Mr. A. J. Beith (Berwick-upon-Tweed) : I listened with great care to the Minister's advocacy of new clause 2, which he spent 30 minutes doing on 22 April and I am disposed to accept it.
Question put, That the clause be read a Second time :
The House proceeded to a Division .
Mr. Beith (seated and covered) : On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Is it not clear that this Division was not originally sought and that it is taking place against a Government new clause which I have accepted, with tellers for both sides being put in by Government supporters so as to ensure that the Energy Conservation Bill does not make any further progress today ? Can you confirm that the promoter of the Bill did not put in tellers for the Division ? It is clearly an attempt by the Government to prevent the House from considering the Energy Conservation Bill any further.
Column 1348
Madam Deputy Speaker : As Deputy Speaker, I have no knowledge of those matters. All that I am concerned with is whether the Division has been called correctly, and I am satisfied that it is in order. The House having divided : Ayes 63, Noes 2.
