Second Reading what day—or is there no day named?
I wish to name a day—
No day named.
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
I shall take the point of order after the remaining Orders of the Day.
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The Second Reading had begun—
Order. The hon. Member knows perfectly well that we do not take Second Readings after 2.30 pm on Friday.
I had begun before 2.30 pm.
Order. After 2.30 pm, we take the Bills formally. I asked the hon. Member to name a day to resume the debate. He did not name a day, so I said "No day named." That is in accordance with our normal procedures. We must now continue with the remaining Orders of the Day.
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I had started speaking before 2·30 pm and had moved that the Bill be read a Second time.
Order. The simple answer is that the hon. Member talked out his Bill at 2·30 pm.
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
Order. The hon. Member for Islington, North (Mr. Corbyn) knows the procedures well. We have been around this course many times this Session and the previous one. As the hon. Member will see if he looks at Hansard on Monday, he talked out his Bill at 2·30 pm.
In that case, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I name 1 March as the date to continue the Second Reading. I started before 2·30 pm.
Second Reading deferred till Friday 1 March.
