Shall they carry?
(Clauses 40 to 45 inclusive agreed to)
(On clause 46)
We have amendment BQ-2. I want to note that if this is adopted, we cannot move to Conservative amendment CPC-1 because of a line conflict.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states the following on page 769: “Once a line of a clause has been amended by the committee, it cannot be further amended by a subsequent amendment as a given line may be amended only once.”
Even though we kind of know the outcome of this, we'll still put it to a vote: Shall amendment BQ-2 carry?
(Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Now we can go forward to amendment CPC-1.
Does anyone want to speak to that, or should we just go to the vote?
