has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the condition in section 14B(2)--

I beg to move, as an amendment to the motion, in paragraph 1(2), leave out from "conclusion" to end of sentence and insert "at midnight".

Madam Speaker:

With this, we may take the following amendment: in paragraph 1(4), leave out from "Consideration" to end of paragraph 1(5) and insert--

On crime, we need to highlight tough measures . . . We should think now of an initiative . . . Something tough, with immediate bite which sends a message through the system.

the provisions of the Football (Disorder) Bill are compatible with the Convention rights,

I say the time to act is right now, for England's qualifying matches, for the next World Cup are only months away. That is why I am making this important offer to the Prime Minister.

The Conservative party will give our full support and co-operation in Parliament to Government legislation that will stop known hooligans from travelling to football matches abroad, extend the

restrictions on international matches, give consideration to increasing the severity of punishments. Other European countries have shown that tough measures and a clear political will can win the battle against hooligans.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendment made: in paragraph 1(4), leave out from "Consideration" to end of paragraph 1(5) and insert--

and on Third Reading shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 5 am on 18th July.--[ Sir G. Young. ]

Main Question, as amended, put:--

The House divided: Ayes 281, Noes 56.
