GREAT YARMOUTH PORT AUTHORITY BILL [Lords] (By Order) – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 12 July 1990.
Mr Bernard Weatherill
, Croydon North East
As the remaining seven private Bills set down for Second Reading have blocking motions, with the leave of the House I shall put them as a single group.
The Second Reading is the most important stage for a Bill. It is when the main purpose of a Bill is discussed and voted on. If the Bill passes it moves on to the Committee Stage. Further information can be obtained from factsheet L1 on the UK Parliament website.
A proposal for new legislation that is debated by Parliament.
