The Secretary will read the first Order of the Day. As there is no speakers' list, I shall now put the Votes in the order in which they appear on the Schedule to the Bill.
Before I do so, I would like to remind the members that when we are voting, the doors will be closed. If there is a member of your party outside, please make sure that they are all inside. Do you want one minute to do that or are you all in? Do you want the bells to be rung? I will allow the bells to be rung for one minute. I see people going out and we are going to close the door for you.
Vote No 1 - The Presidency - put.
