§ Order read for resuming adjourned debate on Question—[13 February]—That the Bill be now read a Second time.
§ Hon. Members: Object.
§ Debate to be resumed upon Friday 27 March.
§ Mr. Russell Johnston (Inverness)On a point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker. It is quite in order to record in the Official Report the names of hon. Members who intervene in a debate from a sedentary position, but where an hon. Member objects to a Private Member's Bill, which is surely a more significant event, he is never recorded. The hon. Member for Watford (Mr. Garel-Jones) has just objected. Will you issue instructions in this regard?
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Bernard Weatherill)Order. I can issue guidance. The hon. Member, who is a very experienced parliamentarian, will know that it has never been our practice to name those who object on Fridays to Private Members' Bills. It is very difficult to record the names because more than one hon. Member may object.
