HC Deb 02 July 2001 vol 371 c115

Order read for resuming adjourned debate Question—[28 June].

Question again proposed, That Private Members' Bills shall have precedence over Government business on 26th October. 2nd, 23rd and 30th November 2001, 11th, 18th and 25th January, 15th March, 12th and 19th April, 10th May, 21st June and 19th July 2002.—[Mr. Heppell.]

9.59 pm
Mr. Eric Forth (Bromley and Chislehurst)

As I was saying when I was genteelly interrupted the other day, the issues raised by the motion are quite wide and complex. Not least among them is the fact that, looking at the dates that we contemplate for private Members' Bills, particularly when we do not have the opportunity of knowing the substance of the Bills, it is extraordinary—

It being Ten o'clock, the debate stood adjourned.

Debate to be resumed tomorrow.—[Mr. Heppell.]
