Political Parties and Elections Bill

Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. On the matter of the new clause that was moved earlier—[Interruption] It was voted on without being moved, but we had only one vote. Would you be kind enough to look at page 623 of "Erskine May"? It says very clearly:""The last question proposed by the Speaker is, 'That the clause (or the clause as amended) be added to the bill'"." May I also draw your attention to the fact that there have been two programme motions—on 20 October last year and 9 February this year—neither of which changed that ruling in "Erskine May" or the Standing Orders? May I ask you for your considered ruling, or that of Mr. Speaker tomorrow, that might determine that we have voted on the first part of a procedure that could have added a new clause to the Bill but not on the second part and therefore that that new clause has not been added to the Bill?
