§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Morris)The Question is, That the Bill be read a Second time. Those of that opinion say aye.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerTo the contrary, no.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerSecond Reading what day? Friday next.
§ Mr. Simon Hughes (Southwark and Bermondsey)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The Bill was clearly objected to after the House had determined that the Bill should receive a Second Reading. I ask you to rule, Mr. Deputy Speaker, that the Bill received a Second Reading without, as required by "Erskine May", the appropriate objection and that we should proceed with further stages of the Bill.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerI had not quite completed putting the Question.
§ Second Reading deferred till Friday next.
