"content": "In the ordinary course of events a person who is opposed to something will express that opposition either orally or by vote and the one who supports will do that by proposing and by voting for it. That is the position in our Standing Orders. There is also a provision in our Standing Orders which allows an hon. Member to abstain. It states that no hon. Member is obligated to vote on anything. That is the law. As to the moral consequences of proposing an issue which you have no intention of voting for, I think I will leave that to be judged by the House, the individual hon. Members and the society at large."
