The SPEAKER (3:39 PM) —I inform the House that for a trial period and with effect from the first division today, additional tellers are to be appointed for divisions. Eight tellers will be appointed for a division: two pairs of tellers to count each side. In the case of successive divisions, members changing their vote, leaving the chamber or entering the chamber should report to the tellers who have counted the block in which they have voted or who will count the block in which they will vote. These changes reflect a recommendation of the Procedure Committee in its recent report Review of the conduct of divisions. The purpose is to reduce the time taken for divisions. The changes are introduced with the agreement of the chief whips. The Procedure Committee will monitor the success of the trial.
