HC Deb 04 March 1988 vol 128 c1330

Order read for resuming adjourned debate on Second Reading [12 February].

Hon. Members

Object.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Debate to be resumed what day? No day named.

Sir John Biggs-Davison (Epping Forest)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Would it be in order for me, without detaining the House, formally to move the motion standing in my name on the Order Paper?

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Sir Paul Dean)

I am afraid that it would not be possible for the hon. Gentleman to do that. It would have been possible only if it had been reached before 2.30 pm.
