  Motion to sit in Private
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>Eric Forth moved that the House sit in private, to ensure the early defeat of this motion and deny its use to anyone who wanted to disrupt the debate on a subsequent Private Members' Bill.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, the move was targeted at the Drugs (Sentencing and Commission of Inquiry) Bill which was to be debated first and which would have set up a Commission on the laws on Cannabis.</p>

  <p>As a House of Commons matter, no whips were applied on this division.</p>
