HC Deb 13 May 1988 vol 133 c652

Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Second Reading deferred till Friday 8 July.

Mr. Harry Barnes (Derbyshire, North-East)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is it in order, given that the last Bill refers specifically to a unit being set up by the Department of the Environment, that objections should come from Conservative Members other than those in the Department of the Environment?

Mr. Deputy Speaker

I realise that the hon. Gentleman is disappointed. However, we have been through this on many occasions at 2.30 on private Members' Fridays and what has occurred has been perfectly in order.
