I move that the Second Stage be taken on Thursday, 27th October, 1977.
Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 1977: Order for Second Stage.
As most Deputies did not get their copies of this Bill until yesterday morning's post, although there was a draft available in this House last Friday, I think Wednesday is too early.
Perhaps the Deputy would agree, subject to the usual conditions of agreement between the Whips.
Perhaps the Whips could discuss it.
Why not set the date for Tuesday week and then discuss it?
The fact that it is ordered for that day does not necessarily mean it will be taken on that day.
Subject to agreement between the Whips I agree.
Second Stage ordered for Thursday, 27th October, 1977.
