160 has been disposed of can we not take further action on the question?

The Chairman: When an amendment, or an amendment to the amendment, is laid on the table the whole subject goes with it, for the reason that an amendment so closely adheres to the subject it is proposed to amend, that it would not be practical to go on with the question if there were amendments on the table liable to be called up at any time. So, also, if the main question is laid on the table, all amendments and vitally connected questions go with it.

Mr. Dempsey: I rise to a parliamentary inquiry.

The Chairman: The member will state his inquiry.

Mr. Dempsey: After the resolution has gone to the table, how may the question be brought up?

The Chairman: By a regular motion and vote to take the question from the table.
