Points of Order — Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Rugby World Cup 2015 Extended Trading Hours) Bill—Votes
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I understand that when a split vote is cast it is incumbent on the member casting the split vote to provide to the House a list of names of those who voted. I understand that has not happened yet from the Labour Party. Can the House please have that list from the Labour Party?
It is an obligation on the part of the Labour Party. It is a slightly complicated area because, as members are aware, the party has not taken a position. But I am working on the basis that the junior Labour whip exercised a set of proxies, and it is an obligation on her to provide a list of those members for whom she was exercising a proxy and the direction of their votes. It should have been given to the Clerk at the time of the vote, and I am sure that Mr Lees-Galloway will work with the whip in order to remedy the omission. Thank you.
