Proceeding contribution from Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Emergency debate on UK-US Extradition Treaty.


UK-US Extradition Treaty

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. As I am sure that you are well aware, ““Erskine May”” makes it clear that, in this House, according to ancient practice, votes should follow voices. In my distinct observation, Government Front Benchers shouted, ““No””, on the Division, but I have not seen any of them vote in the No Lobby. Will you therefore explain whether ““Erskine May”” has been observed by Government Front Benchers and confirm that that is the practice of this House? Perhaps you will even suggest why the Government are not voting in the Division.
