As the House is well aware, that is not a point of order for the Chair, but it is certainly on the record.

Further to that point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. As has just been mentioned, there is a convention that Ministers, Parliamentary Private Secretaries and members of the shadow Cabinet and their PPSs do not vote on ten-minute rule Bills. Will you confirm to the House that when the Bill receives a Second Reading, there will be a further opportunity to vote on it, and that the usual convention that it should be a conscience vote will apply?

It is not a point of order for me to advise people how to vote, but I am sure they will reflect on that when they read Hansard tomorrow.
