§ Mr. Bill Etherington accordingly presented a Bill to protect the health and welfare of broiler chickens kept in indoor husbandry systems: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time on Friday 13 March, and to be printed [Bill 136].
§ Mr. John MacGregor (South Norfolk)On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is it not outrageous that we should have only 50 minutes left to discuss by far one of the most important parts of the Scotland Bill, because of the deliberate positioning of a long Government statement before it? Is there any way in which, in the interests of the House, the time can be extended?
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Lord)I understand the right hon. Gentleman's point, but we are governed by a resolution of the House.
