As this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Victims’ Rights Bill 2008: Order for Second Stage.
Bill entitled an Act to make provision for the rights of victims of crime and anti-social behaviour; to give effect to the European Union Council Framework Decision of the 15th March 2001 on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings; to specify information to be given to victims; to provide for the proper treatment of victims; making provision for the furnishing to the courts of victim impact statements; providing for specific notices to be furnished to victims relating to alleged and convicted offenders; providing for the establishment of the Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime; providing for the adoption of a victims' charter; making provision for the procedures applicable to address the violation of victims' rights; providing for the making of Protection of Person's Orders to prohibit the intimidation by an alleged offender of victims of alleged offences; and to provide for matters connected therewith.
I move: "That Second Stage be taken in Private Members' time."
Question put and agreed to.
