division_name: Election of Speaker
motion: <p>
   I beg to move, as an amendment to the Question, to leave out "Mr. Michael J. Martin" and insert instead thereof "Mr. Richard Shepherd".
  <p> 
  
    Sir Edward, the hour calls for brevity. Brevity is in my nature, and the cause for which I rise is simply stated. It is to suggest that the name of the hon. Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Mr. Shepherd) be inserted as an amendment, by nature of the quality of the man.
  <p>There is nothing so necessary for the preservation of the prince and state as free speech, and without it it is a scorn and mockery to call it a Parliament house, for in truth it is none but a very school of flattery and dissimulation.
  <p>
  For that, the Queen had him locked up in the Tower of London the next day.
  <p>Question put , That the amendment be made:--
  <p>The House divided:  Ayes 136, Noes 282.
