Question accordingly agreed to.

Lords amendments Nos. 47 to 51 and 53 to 58 disagreed to.

1.30 a.m.

I now require to put the Question, That this House doth agree with the Lords in all the remaining amendments.

Remaining Lords amendments agreed to.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The Government have now been defeated on a major piece of their legislative programme. There is obviously no majority in the House and no authority for the Government to pro- ceed with the Bill. The correct course must surely be that the Government now drop the Bill. I call upon the Secretary of State to announce that he will drop the Bill and that he will make a statement to that effect immediately.

The House has carried two of the amendments sent to it by their Lordships.

I propose now to move,
That a Committee be appointed to draw up reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of their amendments:
That Mr. Booth, Mr. Thomas Cox, Mr Maxwell-Hyslop, Mr. Prior and Mr. Harold Walker be members of the Committee:
That Three be the quorum of the Committee:
That they withdraw immediately.

I have had a manuscript amendment handed to me, to add after the last name of the proposed members of the Committee "Mr. Stephen Ross".

Motion made, and Question,

That a Committee be appointed to draw up reasons to be assigned to the Lords for disagreeing to certain of their amendments.—[Mr. Booth.]

Put forthwith, pursuant to the Order this day, and agreed to.

Motion made and Question proposed.
