I seek the leave of the House to move a motion in my name that is on the Order Paper. I did run the wording of the motion past the parties last week.
Madam SPEAKERNo, you have sought leave to move a member’s motion, which you have identified as yours, on the Order Paper. If leave is given, you then proceed. But leave is sought first.

I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. On all previous occasions when this has been done, the member, including myself on previous occasions, has been allowed to move the wording of the motion. I seek to do so now.

I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. Amongst other things, this motion is not a way that a country that wants to be in the First World should conduct its foreign policy, and, second, this member knows full well that he is now contesting clear Standing Orders and Speakers’ rulings, and that he should desist from doing that.
