The time for the debate has now concluded. There are 10 minutes available, and we'll make sure that each mover of an amendment does get 10 minutes to speak. The question now is the amendments circulated by the member for New England be agreed to.
A division having been called and the bells having been rung—
As there are fewer than seven members on the side of the ayes in this division, I declare the question negated in accordance with standing order 127. The names of those members who are in the minority will be recorded in the Votes and Proceedings.
Question negatived.
