Hunting Bill — 27 Feb 2001

Order for Third Reading read.

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read the Third time.

Mr. Hogg:

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. As you will know, 11 groups of amendments were before the House and it debated only two of them, which means that nine groups were either largely undiscussed or not discussed at all. Under the programme motion, I know that you, Mr. Speaker, must proceed to Third Reading, but it is within your discretion formally to inform the Lord Chancellor that this House has not properly or fully debated the Bill. I respectfully ask you to do that.

Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time:--

The House divided: Ayes 319, Noes 140.
