Motion made, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

Hon. Members::

Object.

Bill to be read a Second time on Friday 22 March.

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. If I may, I will take a moment to recognise that the United Nations has made today International Day to Combat Islamophobia. The Government condemn anti-Muslim hatred, just as we condemn antisemitism and all forms of racism and hatred, and I would like to put on the record that it is a matter of profound regret to us all that people are still judged by their identity, when they should be judged by their conduct and their character.

As the Minister will understand, that is not a point of order for the Chair, but he has put his point on the record.
