(seated and covered): On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. I should like to have your advice on whether it is in Order for Members supporting the Government to sing the "Red Flag" in the Lobby. Not only are they doing it now, but they did so on a previous occasion.

I have no knowledge of what happens in the Lobby. Those in one Lobby may sing one song, and those in the other Lobby may sing another. That is outside my jurisdiction.

The House divided: Ayes, 255; Noes, 34.

On a point of Order. I want to ask for your guidance, Mr. Speaker. Standing Order, No. 143, gives you power under certain circumstances to do certain things. That is the Standing Order which provides that if it appears to you that a Division is unnecessarily claimed, you can take certain action. I want to draw your attention to the fact—

Why waste the time of the House now? Everything is going all right.

Further Amendments made:

In page 114, line 29, leave out from first "a," to end of line 30, and insert "county borough."

In page 115, line 21, at end, insert:

"and any sums payable on or in respect of he leath of that person."—[Mr. Barnes.]
