Mr. Speaker, may I ask whether your intention is to call both the new Clauses standing on the Order Paper in the name of myself and my hon. Friends? I would suggest that if we could discuss them both together, so long as we are enabled to vote upon them separately, it might meet the convenience of the House.

I was proposing to call the first new Clause, because I realise that although it had a long Debate in Committee, it raises a point of major importance from the point of view of the Opposition. I would suggest, therefore, that both the new Clauses should be taken together, and I will call them separately for a Division. In view of the long discussion in Committee, I hope this morning's discussion will not be unduly long.
