Question accordingly agreed to.
Resolved,
That the Committee has considered the Alcoholic Liquor Duties (Surcharges) and Tobacco Products Duty Order 2008 (S.I. 2008, No. 3026).
Mr. Carmichael: On a point of order, Sir Nicholas. I seek your clarification. I clearly heard the hon. Member for Preseli Pembrokeshire say no when invited to vote. It was the Conservative Whip who said, “No vote”. Surely the hon. Gentleman should be recorded as having voted no.
The Chairman: I felt that the hon. Gentleman would raise a point of order. From the Chair, I understood that the hon. Member for Preseli Pembrokeshire corrected his vote, which he is entitled to do. The point made by the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland will no doubt be recorded in Hansard.
I call the Minister to move the second motion formally. [Interruption.] I have been corrected. That is why we have a Clerk. The Clerk will now read the title of the second order.
