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.
