Order!
The ballot for the Private Members' Bills in the present session is about to take place.
I intend to follow the practice of drawing 20 numbers in reverse order of precedence
- from 20th to the 1st.
I now ask the Clerk Assistant to commence drawing the numbers.
As each number is drawn, I will repeat it and then read out the corresponding name of
the member from the ballot book.
For information, 462 people have applied - one of our highest applications.
It is, believe it or not, down by 3 on last year but very high again.
OK, let us proceed.
Shake them up, Jacqy!
132 - 132 - Caroline Ansell
168 - 168 - James Cleverly
495 - 495 – Mr Geoffrey Cox
We'd better shake them up…everyone's a winner!
27 - 27 - Mark Pawsey
266 - 266 - Vicky Foxcroft
96?
I think it's 90.
We'll go with 90 - 90 - Heidi Allen
108 - 108 - William Wragg
474 - 474 - Sir William Cash [laughter] - I think we know that one!
13 - 13 - Unlucky for some, but not today - Lilian Greenwood

Shake them up..

This is the last one.
That was the penultimate, now this is the final number:

Welcome Back!
[laughter]
That is all.
Order, order!
That concludes the proceedings.
