Simon Hughes: On a point of order, Sir Michael. I was listening very carefully and waiting for clause 17 to be called. We are minded to vote against it standing part of the Bill, but it was not called either on its own or with other clauses.
The Second Deputy Chairman: I read out very clearly the measures on which the Committee must vote, and the clause was included. I am afraid that the hon. Gentleman has missed his chance. We must now proceed to debate the proposals grouped with Government amendment No. 69.
Simon Hughes: Further to my point of order, Sir Michael. I do not wish to detain the Committee, but may I take you through what you said? Apparently, we were dealing with clauses 4 to 6, schedule 3, clauses 7
to 16 and schedule 4. My colleagues and I were listening carefully, and I understand that clause 17 was not included, although a schedule relating to it was included.
The Second Deputy Chairman: Let me repeat everything that I read out. I read out a proposal that clauses 4 to 6, schedule 3, clauses 7 to 17—[Hon. Members: "No; 16"]—schedule 4 and clauses 18 to 20 stand part of the Bill. That is what I read out. That is what I put to the Committee, and the Committee agreed to it. We must now move on.
6.30 pm
The Second Deputy Chairman: No.
Simon Hughes: What if I asked you to take advice, Sir Michael?
The Second Deputy Chairman: I do not need to take advice. I am sure that what I read out—[Interruption.] Order. I am quite clear about this, and there is no point in pursuing it further. I put clause 17 to the Committee, among other provisions, and the Committee agreed to it. We must now move on to the debate on amendment No. 69 and the proposals taken with it.
Simon Hughes: On a point of order, Sir Michael.
The Second Deputy Chairman: I hope it is a separate point of order, because I have dealt fully with the earlier one, and we need to move on.
Simon Hughes: It is a separate point of order, Sir Michael.
Mr. Tam Dalyell (Linlithgow) rose—
The Second Deputy Chairman: Order. The hon. Gentleman must resume his seat. I am on my feet, and I cannot deal with two points of order at once.
Simon Hughes: May I ask you, Sir Michael, to consider either putting the last Question again or putting the Question relating to clause 17 separately, to allow the Committee—
The Second Deputy Chairman: Order. I have explained the position to the hon. Gentleman, who is merely repeating what he said earlier. I am clear about what I put to the Committee: I have it before me. The Committee has agreed to the clause in question, and we must now move to the next business.
