Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 April 2019. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. Those of us who took part in that vote in 1993 will recall that Speaker Boothroyd cast her vote in favour of the Government because there was thought to be a tie. It was discovered the next day that the Government had in fact won the vote by a majority of one, and that therefore the Speaker had complied with what would have happened anyway. Can we be certain that this tie is accurate? [ Interruption. ]
