HC Deb 03 July 1998 vol 315 c705

Order read for consideration (as amended in the Standing Committee).

Hon. Members

Object.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Further consideration what day?

Ms Oona King (Bethnal Green and Bow)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. In the light of the history of the Bill, which was previously objected to accidentally by the right hon. Members for Bromley and Chislehurst (Mr. Forth) and for Penrith and The Border (Mr. Maclean), who were gracious enough to acknowledge the fact, and given that the former put it in Hansard that I had gone to extraordinary lengths to deal with the questions raised, would it be in order to ask whether the objection was a mistake, especially as the Bill has the full backing of the Confederation of British Industry?

Mr. Deputy Speaker

Order. I regret to say to the hon. Lady that an objection has been taken. Further consideration what day?

Ms King

Friday 6 November.

Further consideration deferred till Friday 6 November.
