On a point of order. Would it be in order for me, Mr. Speaker, to give notice of a Resolution on behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Gloucestershire, South (Mr. Crosland).

On a point of order. For general guidance, Sir, are we to take it that the hon. Member for Clitheroe (Mr. Fort) was nominated by the successful candidate in the Ballot and is not himself a candidate in the Ballot?

I understood that the hon. Member for Clitheroe (Mr. Fort) had been asked by the hon. Member for Mitcham (Mr. Robert Carr) to do so. That is a necessary part of the procedure.
