§ Order read for resuming adjourned debate on 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.—[Jim Fitzpatrick.]
§ Mr. Eric Forth (Bromley and Chislehurst)This motion is obviously of considerable importance. The Government insist on bringing it forward, but they will not allow it proper time for debate, which is regrettable. I hope that, at some stage, the House will have an opportunity fully to explore the implications of the motion in its present form and, indeed, the amendment in my name. There are implications—of that there can be no doubt—and I hope that we shall have an opportunity fully to return to them.
§ It being half-past Two o'clock, the debate stood adjourned.
§ Debate to be resumed on Monday next.—[Jim Fitzpatrick.]
