HC Deb 27 April 1984 vol 58 c1069

Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Mr. Clement Freud (Cambridgeshire, North-East)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is that not in direct defiance of your instruction that the word "object" comes from a sedentary position from the same evil place that has defied so many other rules?

Mr. Deputy Speaker

I have given no such instruction. I have merely offered advice to the House. In so far as I have ruled, it is that, for today, we should continue, until the House decides otherwise, in accordance with the practice that has been followed in recent times.

Second Reading deferred till Friday 4 May.
