Mr. Hawkins: I have no intention of withdrawing the motion. We wish to press it to a Division because we feel extremely strongly that the new clause is needed, as it would introduce the required element of flexibility.

It being Ten o'clock, Mr. Speaker put the Questions necessary for the disposal of the business to be concluded at that hour, pursuant to Order [this day].

Question put, That the clause be read a Second time:--

The House divided: Ayes 120, Noes 336.

Division No. 179
