Question agreed to.

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)]

Sir William Cash, do you still wish to make a point of order?

[Sir William Cash (Stone) (Con)]

In the circumstances, Mr Deputy Speaker, the answer is no at this moment in time.

[Pete Wishart (Perth and North Perthshire) (SNP)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. We have just passed motion 6 on the Committee on Standards, which is probably one of the most significant motions that the House has considered in the past two weeks. It has been brought forward under Standing Order No. 9(6) and there has been no opportunity to debate it in the House at all. I look for your advice on how we can get the Leader of the House to come to the House and explain what he is doing.

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Somebody shouted “Object” and I took the objection. It will now be up to the Government to reprogramme that motion.
