HC Deb 15 February 1991 vol 185 c1175

Order for Second Reading read.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

I shall now respond to the point of order that the hon. Member for Upminster (Sir N. Bonsor) raised earlier. As the provisions of the Bill parallel or conflict with the provisions of the Badgers Bill, introduced by the hon. Member for Newport, East (Mr. Hughes), which has today been given a Second Reading, the Protection of Badgers Bill cannot proceed further. Therefore, I cannot put further Questions on it.
