Business motion relating to conduct of proceedings on the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill 2017-19. Includes Programme motion on proceedings on Second reading, in Committee of the Whole House, on consideration, on proceedings up to and including Third reading and on subsequent proceedings. Division on the Amendment in the name of Hilary Benn resulted in a tied vote (310 to 310). The numbers being equal, the Speaker stated that, in accordance with precedent, a decision should be affirmed by the majority of the House, and not merely by the casting vote of its presiding officer, and he accordingly declared himself with the Noes. Amendment therefore negatived on division (310 to 311). Main question agreed to on division (312 to 311).
