On a point of order. I do not want to make a major issue of this, but we are being asked to pass a Bill which the House has not even seen. It has been argued on previous occasions that it is a technical matter and that it is traditionally done in this way. However, it is a bad practice in this House to pass a Bill which we have not seen.
