Brought up, and read the First time.

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker:

With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: New clause 7-- Community Health Councils: additional functions --

Surprise, surprise--I received a letter on the following Monday. It began with the words "Dear Stephen", which, surprisingly, appeared in the Prime Minister's handwriting. In the letter, the Prime Minister states:

"I thought it would be helpful if I clarified the nature of the consultation on which we are currently engaged"--

It being Nine o'clock, Mr. Deputy Speaker proceeded to put the Question already proposed from the Chair, pursuant to Order [this day].

The House divided: Ayes 163, Noes 301.
