Proceeding contribution from Eric Forth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.
Health Bill
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your guidance, because I hope that the House will be able to divide on amendment No. 8 to the Health Bill. I say that for two reasons. First, I believe that the House should be given an opportunity to vote for the status quo, and my amendment would provide the only chance to do so. Secondly, if the House cannot vote on my amendment, some of us might be obliged to vote against the Bill on Third Reading, which would be most unfortunate, because it would mean a confusion between the smoking elements in part 1 and the rest of the Bill, which is—I have no doubt—admirable. I hope that you will give consideration to allowing a division on amendment No. 8, so that the House may take a distinct and separate view on that part of the Bill.
