Queen's Recommendation having been signified—

Resolved.
That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the Ministerial and other Pensions and Salaries Bill, it is expedient to authorise the charging on and payment out of the Consolidated Fund or the payment out of money provided by Parliament of—

1. (a) any sums required to be so charged or paid under that Act; and
2. (b) any increase attributable to that Act in the sums so charged or payable under any other Act.—[Mr. Wood.]

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I take it that if the opposed private business should end early the motion will be debated immediately afterwards?

The hon. Gentleman may certainly take that to be the position. However, on present form, I am not sure how likely it is. If the situation should arise, I will bear the hon. Gentleman's interest in mind.
