WATER CHARGES (AMENDMENT) BILL (Hansard, 16 February 1996)

HC Deb 16 February 1996 vol 271 c1313 1313

§ Order for Second Reading read.

§ Mr. Simon Hughes
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I shall deal with the previous Bill first. I moved it "now"—I hope that that was on the record. I understand that it was not able to be taken—

§ Mr. John Carlisle
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

§ Madam Deputy Speaker
I am not taking any points of order from the hon. Gentleman now.

§ Mr. Simon Hughes
I moved my Bill "now". I understand that an objection was taken to that, so I have now named a date for the Bill to be taken again. I believe that there cannot be any objection to that.

§ Madam Deputy Speaker
That is correct.

§ Mr. Carlisle
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker.

§ Madam Deputy Speaker
Order. I have already ruled on this. I am not taking another point of order on that issue.

§ Mr. Simon Hughes
On the second Bill, which has just been called by the learned Clerk, with the leave of the Member whose Bill it is, I wish to move the Bill now.

Hon. Members
Object.

§ To be read a Second time on Friday 1 March.
