      Mr. Deputy Speaker:   
   With this it will be convenient to discuss the following amendments: No. 111, in page 56, line 13, leave out schedule 2.
  <p>artificially and unnecessarily, create a democratic deficit.
  <p>A democracy must mean something . . . Some of the arguments that we have heard, seeking to shift the balance towards allowing an unelected official to overrule the democratically elected Government, are profoundly undemocratic.--[ Official Report, Standing Committee B , 8 February 2000; c. 431.]
  <p>Question put,  That the amendment be made:--
  <p>The House divided:  Ayes 116, Noes 373.
