Mr Speaker, before you report the next message, I understand that, in the Federation Chamber, divisions were called on the next two second reading amendments. It may well be the case, as I'm advised—I'm happy to be corrected—that, if the question were put again to the House, the divisions would not be required. So, to suit the convenience of the House, could I maybe suggest, on receiving the issue, that you re-commit the question to the House and then see whether or not a division is required.
