HL Deb 15 November 1989 vol 512 c1321
The Chairman of Committees

My Lords, I beg to move the fourth Motion standing in my name on the Order Paper.

I understand that the appropriate Message from another place has now been received. I am therefore able to move this Motion. The Message from another place confirms that they have passed the usual Motion to carry over proceedings on the Cardiff Bay Barrage Bill which is currently before them.

Since the Bill has already passed through its stages in this House, it is necessary for the House to agree a similar Motion to give effect to the carry-over.

Moved, That the Commons Message be now considered; and

That the promoters of the Bill have leave to suspend any further proceedings thereon in this Session, in order to proceed with the Bill in the next Session of Parliament, notice of their intention to do so having been deposited in the Office of the Clerk of the Parliaments;

That such Bill shall be deposited in the Office of the Clerk of the Parliaments not later than three o'clock on or before the third day on which the House shall sit after the commencement of the next Session of Parliament, with a declaration annexed thereto, signed by the agent, stating that the Bill is the same in every respect as the Bill at the last stage of the proceedings thereon in this House in the present Session;

That the proceedings on such Bill shall, in the next Session of Parliament, be pro forma only in regard to every stage through which the same shall have passed in the present Session and that no new fees be charged in regard to such stages;

That the Standing Orders by which the proceedings on Bills are regulated shall not apply, in the next Session of Parliament, to such Bills in regard to any of the stages through which the same shall have passed during the present Session. —(The Chairman of Committees.)

On Question, Motion agreed to, and it was ordered that a Message be sent to the Commons to acquaint them therewith.
