Political Parties and Elections Bill

I should first say that the term "acting Speaker" is certainly not in the Standing Orders. Standing Order 83E(2)(c) speaks of""The question on any amendment, new clause or new schedule selected by the Speaker for separate decision"." That is clear. Subsection (3) states:""On a motion made for a new clause or a new schedule, the Speaker shall put only the question that the clause or schedule be added to the bill."" I do not believe that there is any further scope for argument about that matter; otherwise, I would tell the hon. Gentleman—[Interruption.] I have told him—I have done so on advice—that no breach in procedure has occurred during this evening's proceedings. I hope that he will accept that ruling from the Chair and not ask further questions. If he seeks to challenge what has been said, I suggest he write a letter to Mr. Speaker, but I do not believe that anything incorrect has taken place at any stage this evening.
