§ Mr. Harry Barnes (Derbyshire, North-East)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Two Bills have been given a Second Reading today, and one has been given its Third Reading. The two Bills are now due to go into Committee. The Carers (Recognition and Services) Bill has the Government's support. It would 1374 be hypocritical of the Government, therefore, not to assist in terms of ensuring that the Bill goes into Committee.
There is a queue of Bills waiting for their Committee stage at the moment. Is there anything that you can do, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to assist hon. Members so that Bills such as the Civil Rights (Disabled Persons) Bill, the Wild Mammals (Protection) Bill and the Carers (Recognition and Services) Bill make progress?
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerI understand the hon. Gentleman's feelings, but the answer is no.
