Speaker’s Statement

John Bercow Excerpts

Thursday 15th March 2012 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

I have received a report from the Tellers in the Aye Lobby for the Division at 4.21 pm yesterday on the Question that amendment 2 be made to the Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill. The hon. Members for Midlothian (Mr Hamilton) and for Rochford and Southend East (James Duddridge) have informed me that the number of Aye votes was erroneously reported as 231 rather than 222. I will direct the Clerk to correct the numbers in the Journal accordingly. The Ayes were 222 and the Noes were 300.
