HC Deb 08 July 1988 vol 136 c1372

Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Second Reading deferred till Monday 11 July.

Mrs. Margaret Ewing (Moray)

On a point of order, Madam Speaker. Is it appropriate for Ministers continually to object to a Bill which is advisory, or is it merely in keeping with their tradition of insulting European nations as shown by the Secretary of State on Wednesday?

Madam Deputy Speaker

The hon. Lady is familiar with our procedure on private Members' Bills.
