On a point of Order. Is there no means of stopping this farcical procedure? [Interruption.]
The House has declared by vote that this procedure shall be carried out, and one cannot challenge it now. I am simply obeying the orders of the House, and it is no good rising to points of Order.
Further to that point of Order. I had not finished it before I was interrupted. May I finish it, because I feel that the House is being brought to a great deal of ridicule, and the Government as well? Is there no means of stopping it?
That is not a point of Order.

Question, "That the Amendment be made ", put, and agreed to.
No.
I warn hon. Members that this might be regarded as frivolous obstruction, since the House has passed this Amendment about seven times already. The "Ayes" have it. The next Amendment is in page 99, to leave out lines 26 to 42.
On a point of Order. Several hon. Members shouted "No."
It was after I had collected the voices and passed on to the next Amendment.
