HC Deb 26 February 1993 vol 219 c1195

Order for Second Reading read.

Hon. Members

Object.

Second Reading deferred until Friday 26 March.

2.30 pm
Mr. Alfred Morris (Manchester, Wythenshawe)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Noting the objection by the hon. Member for Berkshire, East (Mr. MacKay), I have had to nominate 26 March, but I should like to raise a further point of order at a conventient moment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Morris)

I thank the right hon. Gentleman.

Mr. Dennis Skinner (Bolsover)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Before the general election last year a similar Bill was before the House and was talked out by a Tory Member who then lost his seat in the election. What has happened today is an utter disgrace. We have debated the disabled for several hours, yet the hon. Member for Berkshire, East (Mr. MacKay) has objected to the Bill. It is time that this hypocrisy was ended—

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. The hon. Gentleman knows full well that that is not a matter for the Chair.
