§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Second Reading deferred till Friday next.
§ Mr. Michael Clark Hutchison (Edinburgh, South)On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. I seek your guidance. Is it in 1039 order and usual practice with Private Members' Bills for a Whip on the Government Front Bench to object to them? I refer to the hon. Member for Luton (Mr. Howie). May we seek your protection?
§ Mr. SpeakerI appreciate that the hon. Member is seeking my protection. However, nothing has happened that is out of order.
