Remaining Private Members' Bills – in the House of Commons at 2:15 pm on 12 March 1999.
On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Is it appropriate for Labour Members to object to a private Member's Bill with which the Government have told me they agree in principle, and which also endorses the Government's own White Paper—which pledges:
We wish to reduce the impact on traffic and pedestrians caused by streetworks for utility companies"?
Order. Whether any hon. Member objects to a measure before the House is not a point of order for the occupant of the Chair.
Second Reading deferred till Friday 19 March.
