Election of Speaker — 23 Oct 2000
Mr Archie Norman MP, Tunbridge Wells did not vote.
I beg to move, as an amendment to the Question, to leave out "Mr. Michael J. Martin" and insert instead thereof "Mr. John McWilliam".
My hon. Friend the Member for Blaydon (Mr. McWilliam) became an MP in 1979. I arrived rather later, in 1992, and bumped into him almost immediately.

The House divided: Ayes 30, Noes 309.
