HC Deb 12 May 1989 vol 152 c1172

Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Second Reading deferred till Friday 26 May.

Mr. Simon Burns (Chelmsford)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I did not hear any of my hon. Friends object to the Bill. It has all-party support——

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. We have a lot of business to get through. Nothing has taken place that is out of order. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman knows that. Perhaps we can get on.

Mr. Burns

Further to that point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker——

Mr. Deputy Speaker

I have made it clear to the hon. Gentleman that that was not a point of order. Perhaps he will let us get on with the business.
