7 Nov 2002 : Column 469—continued

Mr. Paul Tyler (North Cornwall): On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I know that it has been drawn to your attention that Whitehall was closed for a large percentage of the time when we were voting. It would seem from the figures that a large number of Conservative Members were unable to vote. I wonder whether the Serjeant at Arms has been able to indicate to you whether all right hon. and hon. Members who wished to vote were able to participate in the Division.

Madam Deputy Speaker (Sylvia Heal): I was advised that Whitehall was closed, and therefore allowed additional time for hon. Members to reach the Lobbies. I am advised that Whitehall is now open.

Amendments proposed: (a) and (b) in lieu of Lords amendment No. 17B.—[Mr. Kemp.]

Question put, That the amendments be made:—

The House divided: Ayes 251, Noes 37.
