Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Mr. Bruce Grocott (Lichfield and Tamworth)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. You will recall that two weeks ago, when this Bill was objected to, it was objected to by the hon. Member for Cheadle (Mr. Normanton). who on this occasion has been prudent enough not to put in an appearance—

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine)

Order. That is not a matter for the Chair.

Mr. Grocott

Further to that point of order—

Mr. Deputy Speaker

There is no point of order.

Mr. Grocott

Then, on a new point of order. It concerns the openness of this House to the public outside. In view of the widespread revulsion that there is about this—

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Objection taken. Second Reading what day?

Mr. Grocott

Friday 6 April.

Second Reading deferred till Friday 6 April.
