blackbird Mr Speaker I knew these new Hawks that the people of Scotland listened very carefully to what the prime minister said because the reality of the situation is that powers that are enshrined under the Scotland Act in 1998 are being grabbed back by this and the friend bees from Scotland were not given the courtesy of even debating it last night [Applause] the people of Scotland will not be disrespected by this Parliament mr. speaker under the circumstances given the caste respected sure I have got no option but to asked at this house no sense and private [Applause] I'm not hearing that at this time and I'm not obliged to do so is my clear understanding or order the honor would you order the right honourable gentleman resume his seat I'll happily take advice but I did anything I'm obliged to hear that at this time what I'd say to the right honourable gentleman is I think the standing order requires the matter be put if it is to be put forth with it order order it might be for the convenience of the house for the matter to be addressed at the conclusion of Prime Minister's Questions and if the Honorable right honorable gentleman who had not signaled to me his intention to do this now which order or daughter order I've been world I'm always grateful for the moral support was right honourable lady the member for Brock's tarrif when it is chanted from a sedentary position I realized that it's done for my benefit but I think I can handle the matter we could have that we could have the vote now but we could Otto we could have a vote now and or it could be taken at the end if the honorable gentleman which is to indicate a desire to conduct such a vote now so be it [Applause] thank you well my advice I've had mixed sequence of advice is that our order this has not happened for order my view is that it is better for the votes to be conductor my view is that it is better for the vote to be conducted at the conclusion of questions to the Prime Minister no I'm not order order order I always admit of the maximum number of votes and divisions as the right honorable gentleman should know from his experience in the house but I hope that he will trust me that I know of what I speak there can be a division and it will be at the end of this session not now that is the end of the matter the Prime Minister resume your seat resume your seat mr.
