Question accordingly agreed to.
23 Jun 2004 : Column 1420
Mr. John Whittingdale (Maldon and East Chelmsford) (Con): On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I seek your guidance. When the motion on which the House has just divided was debated in European Standing Committee A on Monday, I made it clear that the official Opposition had some concerns about the motion, but that we would not oppose it. However, not only did the Liberal Democrats not oppose the motion then, but no Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament attended the Committee. Is it in order for the Liberal Democrats to divide the House when they could not even be bothered to turn up when the matter was debated?
