Object.

Madam Deputy Speaker

Debate to be resumed what day?

Mr. Eric Forth (Bromley and Chislehurst)

Friday 30 March.

Madam Deputy Speaker

Did the right hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Mr. Forth) have the permission of the Member in charge of the Bill to move that debate on it be resumed on Friday next?

Mr. Forth

Yes, but I do not believe that it is necessary.

Madam Deputy Speaker

I am afraid that I must remind the right hon. Gentleman that it is indeed a requirement.

Mr. Forth

Well, I do have permission.

Madam Deputy Speaker

That is fine.

Debate further adjourned till Friday 30 March.
