On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to bring to the attention of the Chair the fact that the hon.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue is the annulment of the Gazette Notice. We cannot have an amendment at this stage to try and cut short the Question which has already been proposed. I invite you to rule that the hon. Member is out of order. Let us debate this matter until the cows come down, they die or wake up. Even if it is tomorrow, let us debate it. We do not want amendments which are misinformed.
